The man on the bike was identified as Dequarrio Hines.
“At some point, there was contact between the two and as the officer was conducting his duties and running the person’s background the officer attempted to detain the individual,” Prine says. “The individual did not comply with the officer’s commands and a struggle ensued. At which point the offender Mr. Hines ended up on top of the officer.”Both suffered from minor injuries during the struggle.“Part of a person defending themselves is the fear of being incapacitated.
The officer feared for his life at that point because of the actions and intentions of Mr. Hines,” Prine explained. “And that he was able to overcome the officer’s resistance.”Prine says that Hines was already on probation for assaulting another police officer a year ago at MPD.The officer involved in the struggle Tuesday has been placed on administrative leave and is expected to return to work at the beginning of the year.Download the FOX10 Weather App.
