On 2/10/20 at 9:38 A.M., an employee of Communications Test Design, Inc called the Grove City, Ohio Division of Police to report a disturbance where a male was in their building and would not leave. The caller told dispatchers that the male did not work there, that he was being aggressive, and that he did not seem to be “all there.”
Patrol Officer Carrie Rose, a trained crisis negotiator, arrived on scene first and made contact with Michael Harris, a 6′ 3″, 245 pound redshirt sophomore on the Eastern Kentucky University football team. Harris was near his vehicle, which was parked and running in front of the business — outside of a designated parking spot.
Straight from the police report:
“Harris was agitated, was not able to stand still, and was not able to stick to one story. At different times, he stated that he was trying to get directions, that he wanted to just talk to someone, and that he needed money for gas. At one point, Harris went toward the driver’s compartment of his vehicle, and Rose instructed him to stay outside, as she was still attempting to obtain his identity. Harris stated he did not need to give Rose his name and continued inside the vehicle as if he was going to drive away. Harris was talking excessively and continuously, leaning toward Rose, throwing his arms around, and at one point dancing. His actions caused Rose to believe that he was under the influence and potentially dangerous to himself or others if he drove away.
Rose asked for Harris’ name again, to which he complied, giving Rose his name, SSN, and later his DOB. Rose asked Harris if he was taking medications or illicit drugs. He stated he was not.
When Patrol Officer Hall arrived, Harris continued to act erratically, not sticking to one specific topic and ignoring commands. Harris turned his attention away from Rose and walked toward Hall, getting in Hall’s personal space. Because Harris had moved to within an arm’s length of Hall, Hall extended his arm, pushing Harris back, as he asked Harris to stay back. Harris refused, took an aggressive step towards Hall, and began yelling at Hall, saying “Take me to jail.”
Both officers believed that Harris was intoxicated or under the influence of an unknown substance. Harris did not seem to know where he was, and he was unable to care for himself. Because Harris was continuing to behave in an erratic and increasingly aggressive, possibly assaultive manner, Ptl. Hall decided to place him in handcuffs.
Hall told Harris to put his hands behind his back, but Harris ignored the order and raised his arms above his head. Hall tried to grab onto one of Harris’ arms to put in behind his back, and Harris smacked Hall’s hand away. Because Harris was now obstructing the officers and was unable to care for himself, Hall told Harris he was under arrest and again tried to get Harris’ hands behind his back.
Harris pulled away and walked back toward his vehicle, stating that he was not going to jail. Hall attempted to control Harris, but Harris pushed him away. Hall deployed his OC spray, but Harris was able to pull the hood of his sweatshirt up, avoiding most of the OC.
You can see what happened next.
Jackson Township medics arrived on scene and transported Harris to the hospital, where he had to be sedated.
The vehicle Harris was driving was impounded. During the inventory prior to impound, officers found several unlabeled pills and suspect powder found, as well as a digital scale consistent with drug use.
In reference to the suspected drugs, Grove City Sergeant Chris Emmelhainz told Real World Police: “The drugs were sent to BCI for testing and results came back that some contained methamphetamine.” Harris has been indicted for assault.
Separately, on 3/5/20 Harris, out on bond, was stopped by a Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper after the trooper was notified of a reckless driver pointing a gun at other cars. Harris refused to cooperate and had to be OC sprayed to gain his compliance. During a subsequent search, Harris was found to be carrying a large amount of marijuana and a “large” stolen handgun. He is in jail.

Jackson Township medics arrived on scene and transported Harris to the hospital, where he had to be sedated. The vehicle Harris was driving was impounded.

In reference to the suspected drugs, Grove City Sergeant Chris Emmelhainz told Real World Police: "The drugs were sent to BCI for testing and results came back that some contained methamphetamine." Harris has been indicted for felony assault.
Separately, on March 5, 2020, Harris, out on bond, was stopped by a Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper after the trooper was notified of a reckless driver pointing a gun at other motorists. Harris refused to cooperate and had to be OC sprayed to gain his compliance. During a subsequent search, Harris was found to be carrying a large amount of marijuana and a "large" stolen handgun. He is currently in jail in Tennessee, and likely will not be playing football any time soon.
Remarkably, when Real World Police contacted the Franklin County Prosecutor's Office for comment, they were unaware that Harris had been arrested in Tennessee. On the morning of May 11, 2020 the prosecutor's office contacted Real World Police, informing us that they had formally requested Harris's extradition to Ohio. Eastern Kentucky University has not yet commented on Harris's most recent arrest.
Update: Kristi Middleton, a spokesperson for Eastern Kentucky University stated, “Michael Harris is not a student at Eastern Kentucky University as of March 2020.â€
Update: As of 05/15/20, Harris has been extradited to Ohio. He is currently being held without bond in the Franklin County Main Jail.
You heard it here first.
My Dad would've told the cops KEEP HIM.
And blacks make heroes out of idiots like this.
Cop never lost his hat? How he do that?
My man put the hoodie up to block the pepper spray! Nice move!
That was a take down maneuver not a body slam
By the way everybody, here is an example where a black man didn't get shot and killed by white officers lol
It’s funny, the cop didn’t let out pansy little screams while he was body slammed. Sad this guy was given money to play a sports ball game.
Edit: “I need some milk†😂😂😂☠ï¸â˜ ï¸
Bro man up that scream a little sound like Ned Flanders
What a loser 🙄. The screaming like a girl is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen, it actually repulsed me. 😒
I think you mean: EX-college football player.
3:50 Screaming woman enters the scene
That guy needs psychiatric help for sure.
The cop esclated the shit
Blaqs
He didn't want that scholarship anyway.
See what happens when you don't respect the badge see what these people from the left and these false narratives that the mainstream media likes to push wouldn't be surprised if he tried to get a lawsuit saying his civil Rights was violated
The female cop was pretty much useless.
These mouth breathing clowns wonder why they have issues with law enforcement. But they love victimhood. Pulling the racism card is their favorite weapon but anyone with two brain cells to rub together understands the outrageousness of the whole thing. This whole thing is so familiar. I want my mommy, I want my daddy. I want my grandma.
Awe big man assault a police officer to the ground and can't comply he's his own worse enimey,cry like a b in the car,it's all him so stupid
Female cop was useless as usual, glad another male cop showed up…..
All about equality right?
That office who was getting "slammed" handled his own.
That officer was smart , he never left his hold on his neck , that's why when he went down to the ground he made sure the suspect did too!
well good news he's out & is playing juco football for Garden city , maybe he will take advantage of this 2nd opportunity
If he had any brains he might have bashed them out
Useless female cop.
Combatives should be taught in every academy across the nation for at least a month. This is what happens when you have a very big subject and not one officer is trained in Combatives. They got lucky to have not gotten hurt bad.
Shocked he didn't get a full ride to the NFL after this, shit is full of felons.
Sprawl, officer… he going for a double leg… SPRAWL!
Women cops are useless
Super predator
Somethings wrong with that sport…seems everyone is or becomes some sort of crackhead
