On 7/20/24 at 1638, I was dispatched to [1400 BLOCK] E 39th St for a domestic trouble call. Per dispatch, a male subject was attacked with an object and needed medical attention at this address.
With being familiar with this address due to officers responding to this location multiple times ( 3 times on 7/19/24) for disorderly conduct and civil matters, I immediacy located Mr. [VICTIM ], who had a open wound on his left cheek area. I asked Mr. [VICTIM ] what happened, to which he stated that his cousin, Mr. Dacoma Grady had hit him with a metal pipe. Mr. [VICTIM ] stated that he did not know why Mr. Grady attacked him. Due to officers responding to this location, it was possibly due to Mr. Grady not paying him his full amount of the rent that was owed.
I obtained Mr. Grady’s phone number from Mr. [VICTIM ] and gave him a call. Mr. Grady answered and stated that he was located at Daffin Park, to which officers responded to that location. Mr. Grady advised that he and Mr. [VICTIM ] had gotten into an altercation. Mr. Grady stated that he was in the back yard to the residence and Mr. [VICTIM ] attempted to attack him with a yard rake. Mr. Grady then stated that he grabbed a metal pipe that was laying in the yard and hit Mr. [VICTIM ] with it. Mr. Grady also stated that he was on top of Mr. [VICTIM ] choking him. Mr. Grady explained that he held Mr. [VICTIM ] in a choke hold, with his arms around Mr.[VICTIM ]s neck.
At this time, I detained Mr. Grady, to which he stated “I already know I’m going to jail”. Mr. Grady was handcuffed, double-locked – checked for fit, bodily ed and placed into the back of my patrol vehicle.
Ems was called to both locations to treat Mr. [VICTIM ] and Mr. Grady for thier injuries. Mr. [VICTIM ] was transported to MMC to be treated for his injuries. An on duty supervisor and on duty detective responded to the scene.
Mr. Grady was then transported to MMC, where he was treated and medically cleared before being transported to CCDC. Mr. Grady was transported to CCDC without incident, to which he was processed and booked.
Mr. Grady was charged with a single count of aggravated assault, 16-5-21
Photos of Mr. [VICTIM ]’s and Mr. Grady’s injuries wee uploaded to Axon Capture.
This concludes my involvement into this matter.
