Several people contacted KRTV following the arrest of a man in Great Falls on Friday, April 28, 2023. The incident happened at the Max Casino & Sports Bar on Fox Farm Road at about 11:40 a.m.
Police officers responded to a report of a disturbance, and encountered 34-year old Jordan James Lopez inside the business.
In a news release on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, the Great Falls Police Department said: “Knowing Lopez was on probation and restricted from entering establishments that serve alcohol, officers questioned Lopez about his being in the casino and about the reported disturbance. Lopez pushed through the officers and attempted to flee.”
According to the GFPD, Lopez “actively resisted” the officers’ orders by pulling his arms away, stuffing his arms underneath his body, kicking, and rolling over.
Several people gathered around the officers and Lopez, creating additional safety concerns for all involved. Several people began to berate the officers and a few attempted to intervene by grabbing at the officers’ arms, and some captured video of the incident.
Officers struggled with Lopez for several minutes before they were able to place him in handcuffs.
The GFPD says that Lopez continued to resist being escorted to a patrol car, by becoming dead weight, refusing to walk, and eventually splaying his legs to prevent entering the vehicle.
Video posted on social media shows officers holding Lopez on the floor of the casino and trying to restrain him. The GFPD told KRTV shortly after the incident that “a female officer’s glasses were knocked from her face during the commotion, but the report does not say she was struck by the suspect and the suspect was not charged with striking the officer. “
After being arrested, Lopez was jailed in the Cascade County Detention Center and charged with obstructing a police officer and resisting arrest, both misdemeanors. He has since pleaded guilty to the charge of resisting arrest, according to the GFPD. He was also charged with a probation violation.
The GFPD said in the news release that they delayed the response to the community’s request for an explanation of the incident until a use-of-force review had been conducted.
The review of the incident determined that the three officers acted accordingly and within GFPD policy and Montana state law, according to the department.
Here is the full news release from the GFPD:
According to the Montana Department of Corrections, Lopez has convictions in Cascade County for assault on a peace officer, criminal endangerment, criminal incitement, and criminal mischief.
