On September 14, 2023, a 27-year-old man named Keishaun Sims entered the Youngstown Police Department lobby in a state of emotional distress. The situation quickly escalated when Sims became confrontational, leading to a physical altercation between him and an officer. Sims even attempted to access the officer's firearm before other officers arrived to handcuff him.
Sims was subsequently arrested and booked into Mahoning County Jail on several charges, including aggravated robbery and assault on a police officer. His bond was set at $100,000 during his arraignment in municipal court.
The officer involved in the altercation was taken to the hospital for examination but has since returned to duty. The situation ends with Sims expressing his intent to make a complaint, while the officers try to de-escalate the situation.
