The Centerville Police Department released bodycam footage that shows a man, which police say is Jacob James Myers, 30, of Centerville, assaulting a Centerville police officer in the snow-covered streets of South Main.
The officer was responding to a suspicious person call in the area of Main and Wall Streets in Centerville, which came into the Centerville Law Center at approximately 12:56 a.m. Wednesday.
Body camera footage shows the officer arriving to the scene and exiting his vehicle, where Myers began charging at the officer with an unknown weapon in his hand.
The officer deployed his taser, but Myers continued to advance towards the officer. On the video released, Myers can be heard shouting “I’m going to [obscenity] kill you, I’m going to kill you [obscenity].â€
The assault continued on Main Street for nearly two minutes before the officer was able to pin Myers to the ground. During the altercation, the officer also struck Myers at least twice with a baton, according to a press release from the Centerville Police Department.
After another officer arrived on scene, the video showed several other taser deployments before officers were able to put Myers into custody.
Myers was transported to Mercy Medical Center for examination and treatment of injuries. A press release from the Centerville Police Department says he was then transported to the Appanoose County Jail, where he is being held on a cash only bond.

If he was black he would've been killed
Great Cop!!!
Good job
Why havnt they made a more effective tazer
It’s crazy the quality of the cameras from 5 years ago
Give him the whole battery!
is that v shreds?
Zombie apocalypse
"WHAT ARE U DOING, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS" idk why that cracks me up lmao
Kids… DON'T DO DRUGS
how the times have changed
FNX?
First cop "I've only hit him once"
Second cop "BZZZZ"
I don’t know about you but I’m relaxed after the officer’s soothing voice.
That bath salt
Lol point blank taser always works
Unfortunately, Mr. Meyers has not learned very much from this case – in June 2020 he was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for attempted murder… 🙁
This is an amazing altercation
Drugs.
Pretty sure this exact same suspect was just charged with attempted murder after a shooting in December.
You can see the goose pimples on the disgusting criminal's shoulder. He's cold alright. He doesn't know he's cold because, drugs.
a person who uses AVS
He's white, if he were shot no one would care anyway.
He must be possesed by demons to be waltzing in some random neighborhood in a freezing snowy night at 2 am,while shirtless and screaming jiberish.
SKULLFCKME
I can see camera have improve overtime
This is why police can't always use fucking tasers, they cannot be trusted completely, and could cost an officer their life!
I love the 2nd cop who shows up and lines this dude up execution style, except it was with another taser lol
Feel most Officers would have shot him….he gave him so many chances…and only tased..funny suspect trying to run in snow…& sliding
Amazing how he wasn’t shot and killed. U know he is unarmed…..
Crazy ducker is lucky to be alive. Late at night, all alone, some dude coming after you saying he's going to kill you, this after getting up after being tazed. If I was the officer I would have drawn my weapon. Again, dude is lucky to be alive.
This guy needs to meet the business end of a billy club
If you look up the word white privilege this video would be on display. Is there any doubt to how this would’ve ended if he were black? Nope
Well he eventually was released, but arrested again in 2019 for attempted murder for shooting a guy in the head, apparently awaiting trial.
They need to increase the voltage on Tasers.
Why does the thumbnail look like the first mortal kombat 😂😂😂
ahh yes, the glory days when cops could carry batons
My Stepdad had a saying (He grew up in the 1930's-40's as a kid to Teenager "They went crazy so the Cops had to shoot 'em"
In the old days when confronted by an INSANIAC Cops just usually shot the person.
This man sounds like John Marston WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU
Watching in 2020, damn thous cameras changed alot.
So, this guy, Jacob James Myers, is now awaiting trial for attempted murder in a completely separate incident from 2019 in Moulton, Iowa.
No surprise that this oxygen thief was arrested for Attempted Murder this last December in a shooting…. What a gem.
Hot thumbnail
This guy is now on charges for attempted murder
Kool cop & meth head wack job
The suspect had two disadvantages:
One: He was shirtless.
Two: He was out in the snow.
A very bad combination for him.
Is this guy like really really drunk? Or is he mentally unstable?
