A Leesburg man was arrested after lying about his identity and damaging a patrol car’s window during a battery investigation.
At 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, officers arrived at Elevate 155 apartments, located at 155 Veranda Way, for a battery involving 22-year-old Brycen Jocobe Williams, according to the arrest record from the Mount Dora Police Department. When they arrived, a neighbor flagged them down and said, “I’m the one who called.” “They yelled at each other all night.”
As the cops approached the residence, they heard a loud commotion from within, according to the report. They paused at the door to listen and discover what was going on. A female voice then replied, “You never put your hands on females, but you want to put your hands on me.”
The cops knocked on the door and presented themselves as law enforcement, directing the inhabitants to open it. Williams approached the door but declined to open it. According to the report, he told them that if they didn’t have a warrant, they should leave the premises.
The cops stated that they wanted to ensure the woman was not wounded, but Williams refused to unlock the door. He said that if the officers refused to leave, they and the woman in the flat would perish. However, he did not elaborate on these threats, according to the article.
According to the complaint, Williams opened the door minutes later and provided a false name and date of birth. The female passenger also stepped out to say she was well and not in distress. When asked about her companion’s name, she said, “Whatever name he gave you.”
The cops then spotted blood pouring down Williams’ leg, but he refused medical assistance for it. Meanwhile, dispatch attempted to discover a match for the phony name and birthday he provided police authorities. He was repeatedly asked about his true identification, but he continued to provide fake answers, according to the report.
An officer eventually discovered Williams’ true identity and apprehended him. He said that officers knew his name the entire time and that he didn’t have to inform them. He became very confrontational with them, hurling profanities and becoming uncooperative, according to the complaint.
He tightened up and clenched his hand when he was searched before transportation. He refused to let an officer take a napkin from his hand. According to the allegation, he later smashed a patrol car’s right rear passenger window by repeatedly kicking it.
Williams was charged with providing false information to law enforcement, causing criminal mischief worth $1,000, and resisting an officer without violence. He was booked into Lake County Jail and released after posting a $2,500 bond.
He was also detained in December 2023 for having cocaine in his possession during a traffic stop.
