MONROE — A Monticello man kicked out of a Monroe bar and arrested for disorderly conduct spit at police and required numerous “focus strikes” from officers to subdue him at the Green County Jail, according to a criminal complaint filed Oct. 29.

Shawn M. Hopkins, 28, faces a felony charge of attempted battery on a law enforcement officer, two felony counts of throwing or expelling bodily fluids as a prisoner and multiple misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and resisting an officer.

The case stems from an arrest close to bar time on Oct. 28 outside Friendly Inn, 1335 17th St.

According to police reports filed with the criminal complaint:

Police arrested Hopkins after bar staff asked him to leave and he refused. He was taken first for medical clearance at the Monroe Clinic ER, where he registered a blood-alcohol content more than two and a half times the legal limit for driving and “yelled and used profane language.”

He was “very loud, unhappy and vocal about how he did not think he should be in custody,” one officer wrote.

Hopkins arrived at the jail not wearing shoes and had to be carried into a detention area, where multiple officers’ accounts describe hours of resistive behavior, including kicking, pushing, biting, lashing side to side, spitting and arching his back out of a chair.

“In an attempt to overcome Hopkins’ active and continued resistance, I delivered two strong-arm, focus strikes to the upper leg area, slightly above knee level,” a patrol deputy wrote. “These strikes did not appear effective ... I then delivered three more focus strikes to the right knee area of Hopkins. Again, these strikes were not effective.”

Ultimately, deputies delivered more strikes to Hopkins’ knees, put him in leg irons, a hobble strap and two spit masks and sprayed him with several rounds of pepper spray.

Hopkins has signed a $3,000 signature bond with conditions that he not drink or go into bars or liquor stores. He has a preliminary hearing Nov. 21.
