--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY:
On Saturday 8-15-2020 at approximately 1345 hours, I was dispatched to the area of Arcadia festival sight, 145 E Water St, for a protest and
counter-protest that had become violent. I was deployed to this location as part of the Crowd Management Team. I arrested two persons during the
incident.
At approximately 1423hrs Arrest # 2 (20-12763) - Travis Anderson - E Michigan Ave/ N Rose St. for Felony R&O/Resisting or
interfering(22-20c) as he punched PSO Deleeuw who was attempting to arrest a protestor that was agitating the crowds and creating and engaging
in riotous behavior.
CROWD MANAGEMENT TEAM:

The mission of the Crowd Management Team is to provide an effective and appropriate law enforcement presence at public assemblies and
gatherings while protecting the constitutional rights of participants and discouraging acts of lawlessness. It is made up of twenty-seven officers
specifically trained to handle large-scale protests and civil disorder utilizing nationally recognized crowd management techniques.
Crowd Management Team officers were in full uniform, supplemented with protective gear. The protective gear included chest, arm and leg
components designed to protect officers from impacts as a result of direct battery or projectiles. The chest protectors had nine-inch wide,
three-inch tall reflective "POLICE" name plates clearly displayed.
SITUATION:
A planned protest by the Proud Boys and a counter protest (various group affiliations) began to clash near the Arcadia Festival sight. When the
two groups met it immediately erupted in to a large fight with several people utilizing weapons. There were immediately reports of persons that
had been battered with weapons and were rendered incapacitated from violent attacks.
CMT DEPLOYMENT:
I was part of Squad 2. We deploy to the Arcadia festival sight and began Crowd Control Operations.
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:
I was equipped with my standard Police Duty belt and a Mk-9 Sabre OC Canister with a baton.
I did not deploy either pieces of equipment.
ARREST # 2 (Travis Anderson):

Officers were initially deployed to the Arcadia Festival sight and had successfully moved the crowd of several hundred persons out of the area.
The crowds proceeded to walk march down the roadway impeding traffic on E Michigan Ave in the downtown area. Continuous loud verbal
commands announcing that a police line had been established had been given over a loudspeaker for more than 40 minutes. The verbal commands
were instructing people to leave the area, or they would be arrested. Robinson remained in the middle of the roadway refusing to obey officer
commands as uniformed officers marched down the street.
As the CMT continued to push the crowd eastbound from N Rose St onto E Michigan Ave the protestors would stop in the middle of the road each
time the CMT would stop. Continuous verbal commands were given via loudspeaker instructing people to disperse however the crowd would not
comply with the loud, clear lawful commands.
As the CMT began to push the crowd eastbound on E Michigan I observed a CMT officer attempting to arrest an agitator in the crowd of
protestors. The offender ran from this officer (ultimately identified as PSO Deleeuw). As PSO Deleeuw was attempting to arrest the protester I
observed a male (ultimately identified as Travis Anderson) aggressively ran up and punch PSO Deleeuw. An officer (later identified as PSO C
Smith) immediately deployed OC spray onto Anderson to thwart his attack on PSO Deleeuw and Anderson immediately fled eastbound on foot. I
immediately gave chase and tackled Anderson to the ground. I gave Anderson loud verbal commands to put his hands behind his back as I held
him to the ground. Several officers immediately arrived to assist me in controlling him. I stepped away once we had control of Anderson and
allowed the arrest team to place Anderson into custody.
Notes/Narratives
It should be noted that I did not interview or personally identify Anderson. I would describe Anderson as a white male, with blond/sandy shaggy
hair, wearing jeans and a pair of black / red gloves.
USE OF FORCE:
When Anderson displayed ACTIVE AGGRESSION towards PSO Deleeuw by punching him with a closed fist PSO Christian Smith deployed his
MK-9 onto Anderson.
Sgt. Werkema depolyed an MK-9 and PSO Knauf deployed a pepperball gun on other protesters to keep them back as myself and other officers
placed Anderson into custody.
BODY CAMERA (WFC1-027913):

My assigned Body Camera, WFC1-0279013 was active during this incident.
NOTE for Anderson`s arrest: This incident occures near 39minutes on my body camera footage. My body camera shows me chasing after
Anderson, The footage does not show him attacking PSO Deleeuw, It does show Anderson being controlled and placed into custody by myself and
other officers.
PSO Christian Smith`s Body camera (WFC1-045511) does show PSO Deleeuw chasing after another protester as Anderson punches him. Smith
proceeded to deploy his MK-9 on Anderson when he punched PSO Deleeuw.
Respectfully Submitted,
PSO Joseph Hutson

SUMMARY:
On Saturday 8-15-2020 at approximately 1345 hours, I was dispatched as a member of the KDPS Crowd Management Team (CMT) to the area of
Arcadia festival site for a protest and counter protest that had become violent. I did not arrest any of the involved parties or deploy any less lethal
chemical munitions. My involvement included moving the crowd out of the Arcadia festival site, through the downtown area, and back into the
festival site where the crowd eventually dispersed without further police intervention.

three-inch tall reflective "POLICE" name plates clearly displayed. I was equipped with a CMT 37mm launcher as well as assorted CS gas hand
grenades.
SITUATION:
The KDPS CMT team was made aware of two groups protesting near the Arcadia festival site. It was reported that the two groups turned violent
and that numerous fights broke out between the involved parties.
CMT DEPLOYMENT:
The KDPS CMT team in concert with other municipalities deployed to the area of the Arcadia festival site. No active fights were observed by me
upon our arrival on scene. CMT was tasked with dispersing the crowd from the festival site following the reported fights. I was assigned as the
grenadier. I took a position behind the main line of CMT officers and successfully moved the group out of the park.
Following this, the group moved to the downtown area are proceeded eastbound on Michigan. CMT then moved to the intersection of Michigan
and Church and began to move the crowd east on Michigan through the downtown area. Multiple arrests were made during our path of travel. I did
not partake in any of these arrests. At one point, I observed a white male attempt to punch a CMT member (later determined to be PSO DeLeeuw)
who was attempting to effect an arrest on an agitator within the group. PSO Hutson tackled this individual to the ground and he was taken into
custody by officers on scene.
CMT then followed the group back to the Arcadia festival site and took a position outside of the festival site. The group, which had moved back
into the park, dispersed a short time later without additional police intervention being necessary. CMT then returned to our staging location.

SUMMARY:
On Saturday 8-15-2020 at approximately 1330 hours, I was dispatched to the area of Arcadia festival sight, 145 E Water St., for a protest and
counter-protest that had become violent. I was deployed to this location as part of arrest team (Squad 4) with Crowd Management Teams Squads
1, 2, and 3. During the incident I observed PSO Deleeuw get physically assaulted by Travis Anderson while he was trying to affect an arrest on
another person. Anderson was arrested and transported to KCSD for lodging.
INFORMATION / LOCATION:
Officers were creating a police line across W Michigan at Rose St in order to move people out of the roadway on W. Michigan. The Kalamazoo
City Crowd Management team was directing people away and out of the roadway. Announcements were being made by individual Officers and by
Officer Dillenbeck over a loud speaker.
OFFICER OBSERVATIONS /ACTIONS / R&O:

While standing behind the Crowd Management Team, I observed Crowd Management Officer DeLeeuw try and arrest a male subject. Another
male subject came up and hit PSO DeLeeuw. PSO Hudson was able to run after Anderson and tackle him to the ground. After arrest he was
identified as Travis Anderson. I ran up to PSO Hudson and assisted with placing Anderson in handcuffs. As Anderson was being placed in
handcuffs, he continued to resist arrest by straightening his arm and clinching his fist. Anderson was given several verbal commands to stop
resisting and to put his hands behind his back.
Once Anderson was in handcuffs, he walked back to a crusier by PSO Weston.

INFORMATION:
On August 15, 2020, I was assigned to the Crowd Management Team due to the protests that were set to occur today. While moving the crowd off
of W. Michigan Ave I assisted in preventing an assault from Travis Anderson by deploying pepper spray. Anderson was later arrested and
transported to KCSD where he was lodged.
VENUE:
I was assigned to the Crowd Management Team at Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety, due to the local protests that were set to occur on this
date and time, that being August 15, 2020, at 1200 hrs. During this time, the crowd became unruly and would not vacate the police zone areas in
which KDPS designated and set forth to control the crowds of protesters.
OFFICER ACTIONS:
While formed on a police line on W. Michigan Ave near the Radisson downtown, a supervisor advised that officers needed to place an individual
under arrest. Upon one of the officers attempting to arrest this individual, he began running and the officer began chasing after this individual into
a crowd that was hostile towards police. Due to me being in fear that this officer was going to be attacked by a violent crowd, I removed my
pepper spray and followed. Upon following the officer, Travis Anderson attempted to assault him by attempting to strike him and aggressively
running towards him in a manner that made it appear as though he was attempting to assault the officer. Upon seeing Anderson aggressively come
towards PSO DeLeeuw, I then deployed my MK9 pepper spray on Anderson`s person. At that point Anderson stopped his assault on PSO
DeLeeuw due to the MK9 being effective, and was apprehended by PSO Hutson. Please refer to their reports for further information.
I had no further involvement in this incident.
BODY-WORN CAMERA:
My KDPS-issued body-worn camera was activated and coded out "10-64" (Case Written).

INFORMATION:
On 08/15/2020 officers were attempting to break up large crowds at the intersection of Rose St and Michigan. This was a riot situaiton. I observed
fully uniformed officers with the crowd management team attempting to place a suspect under arrest just east of Rose St on Michigan Ave. As
officers were attempting to place the suspect under arrest numerous protesters were approaching the officers attempting to prevent the arrest.
While this was occuring numerous announcements were being made over the PA of a fully marked cruiser that the crowd was illegally
congregating and that they were ordered to disperse. The group disobeyed these commands.
USE OF FORCE:
In attempt to disperse the crowd and to protect officers I deployed pepper spray toward the crowd. I was approximately 12 feet away from the
crowd. It is unknown if any of the crowd was actually hit with the pepper spray as the crowd began to run east on Michigan Ave after it was
deployed.
After deploying the pepper spray, I stayed near the arrest to provide safety to officers that were effecting the arrest.
BODY CAMERA:
Body Camera WFC1-002847 was used.
