FRUITLAND PARK, Fla. (TND) — A teenager arrested twice in the past six months is being held in jail on $5,000 bond after reportedly hitting a cop in the mouth with his elbow.

Police in Florida said they were called to a convenience store in response to "a male holding a puppy who was causing a disturbance in front of the business."

Airick Slone's arrest report from the afternoon of Sunday, June 16, said a sergeant arrived "and made contact," but Slone "proceeded to attempt to walk away" despite the sergeant's "verbal commands for him to stop.

"The defendant ignored said orders and continued to walk away.

"[The sergeant] then grabbed the defendant's arm in an attempt to physically keep him from walking away.

"The defendant then began utilizing his arms and hands in an attempt to break [the sergeant's] grasp, and a physical struggle ensued.

"During the struggle, the defendant used his elbow to strike [the sergeant] in his mouth, causing a laceration to the inside of [the sergeant's] lip.

"[The sergeant] was then able to secure the defendant in handcuffs."

The arrest report did not describe the alleged disturbance that had taken place, nor provide any information about the puppy, before or after the skirmish.

Slone, 19, was charged with resisting an officer with violence, which is a felony, and breach of peace/disorderly conduct.

He pleaded not guilty and has been in jail ever since, with an arraignment scheduled for a week from Monday, July 15.

Slone's previous arrest came after his haircut last December.

The barber said he "came in requesting a haircut" and then, according to the arrest report, "informed Airick that the haircut would be $25, to which Airick stated that he did not have any money and could not pay for the service.

"[The barber] stated that he observed Airick begin to put on his sweatshirt and walk towards the door.

"[The barber] stated that he put himself between Airick and the door to prevent him from leaving the storefront.

"[The barber] stated that he observed Airick's phone on the waiting bench, which he took and held onto it.

"Per [the barber’s] sworn written statement, he told Airick that he would not give Airick his phone back until he either paid for his haircut or wait for law enforcement's arrival."

Then, "I made contact with Airick, who was sitting on the front waiting bench," an officer wrote. "When I asked if he was willing to pay for the haircut, he stated that he could not because he did not have any money."

Slone, who had no record, was charged with larceny/petit theft-first offense.

He spent 12 days in jail until he pleaded no contest, and the judge sentenced him to time served and one day of probation.
