CROOKSTON, MN (trfnews.i234.me) – Jacob Else of Crookston, Minnesota, was arrested this week in a dramatic encounter captured on video by a TRF News viewer. The arrest occurred following an investigation into a stolen Apple Watch that pinged at Else’s apartment. Else, who was already on probation, initially claimed he received the watch from a friend.
During the arrest, Else reportedly struggled with officers, shouting “You’re going to shoot me” as they attempted to detain him. Once in the patrol vehicle, he repeatedly banged his head against the partition, causing significant bleeding. He also allegedly spat on two officers. Following medical evaluation at the hospital, Else was booked into jail.
He now faces four felony charges:
- Possession of stolen property
- Possession of methamphetamine
- Two counts of assault by bodily fluids
