“On December 7th, 2024 at approximately 11:18 PM, Sergeant Noah Kocher and Officer Dominic Ewing went to Arby’s Restaurant, 234 Mansfield Ave, to attempt to serve a warrant on Tyler Jacobs out of Shelby Municipal Court. While making initial contact with Jacobs and advising him of the warrant, Jacobs stabbed Sgt Kocher in the neck with a knife. Sgt Kocher was able to create physical distance from Jacobs, who then ran toward Sgt Kocher with knife still in hand. Sgt Kocher was able to draw his duty weapon and fire at and strike Jacobs,” says a Shelby, Ohio Police press release:

“Officer Ewing, who had been covering the back door of the restaurant made immediate entry and provided aid to Sergeant Kocher and provided critical aid to Jacobs. Sergeant Kocher and Jacobs were both transported to the hospital by Shelby Fire. Sgt Kocher is in stable condition, Jacobs succumbed to his wounds. Ohio BCI was requested to investigate the officer involved shooting and to process the scene,” the press release continued, having left out an important detail that you can draw from both the bodycam video of the fatal encounter – which is pretty freaking intense, though Jacobs getting pumped with lead is blurred out – and the fact that this Arby’s closes at 10:00 PM every day: Jacobs was an employee and walked out of the kitchen when he slashed the cop.

Say what you will about cops not having anything better to do than serve a freaking traffic court warrant on a guy – like why not catch him behind the wheel instead at least. On the same token, what was this white trash asshole thinking when he slashed a cop over a traffic court warrant?
