Anthony Powell, pictured here wearing his signature "wife beater" shirt, was busted Saturday morning for being a wife beater. And for beating the guy his wife was with, breaking into an apartment, having cocaine, and a few other things.
Here is what went down, according to cops: Anthony, who at age 28 is apparently "between jobs" (hey we've all been there, right?) forced his way into Apartment C, at 4004 N. Branch Ave., Tampa FLA. There he found his wife hanging out with another man. Mr. Powell then began beating the crap out of his wife, and also the guy she was with. The cops got a call about the violent activity and sent Officer Steve Magnan to the scene to try and quiet things down.
Then Powell decided that it was time to make the cops earn their money. When Officer Magan arrived at the scene, Powell said "ok, my work is done here" and took off running. Magnan gave chase, and then pulled out his taser and hit Powell with a couple high voltage darts. Powell hit the ground so Officer Magnan went over to slap on the cuffs.
Well Powell wasn't ready for cuffs yet so he got up and Whammo- punched Officer Magan in the face a few times. Officer Magan fought back and within moments there was quite the tussel going on. At this point a couple of other cops arrived, seeing that Powell was one crazy-dangerous kind of guy. Officer Tony Trigo jumped into the fight and Powell threw him to the ground. Trigo hit the concrete with his head. Unkown to Officer Magan and Officer Ryan Jacques, another cop who had come to help, Trigo was knocked out by the fall, and wasn't breathing.
So then the guy Anthony, who at this point had beat the crap out of everybody like some kind of evil possessor of superhuman strength, started running back to Apartment C. As he was running, last officer standing Ryan Jacques fired his taser at Powell. Powell had somehow become immune to being tased and kept on running. He then barricaded himself into Apartment C with his freshly beaten wife and and the Powell's two kids, who had been concieved and born during a less tumultuous time in the Powell's marriage.
Around this time, Officers Magan and Jaques saw that the third member of their law enforcement trio was knocked out, not breathing, and didn't have a pulse. They then jumped into caregiver mode, administered CPR, and successfully bought Officer Trido back to the land of the living.
Anthony Powell (also known as Pooh Bear) was finally arrested and charged with 16 offenses, ranging from felony domestic battery, kidnapping, battery with disfigurement, not having a valid driver's license, cocaine possession, and so on and so forth. He is being held without bail. Hopefully he wont chew through his jail cell wall and escape.
Officer Trido is reportedly doing ok at St. Joseph's hospital, And Officer Magan has some cuts and scratches and a few missing teeth. Officer Jaques apparently suffered no serious injuries and is shopping around for a new taser.
