Jaylen McCollough arrested

Translation: He has a police radio.

And appears to be totally full of crap as well on the garbage he is spouting in here.

Back of the head? How the heck did the cops miss putting that injury into their report?

If you almost break your hand on the back of the skull there may likely be a pretty decent goose egg forming back there and cops completely failed to notate that injury. That lays questions into the thoroughness of that whole report.

Also, a rear head blow would indicate all the dental damage came from falling face first down the stairs. Interesting...

The police report that was posted here is only the preliminary report they release for the public while the investigation goes on. There is an actual full police report with multiple pages any time this type of incident happens.

If I were representing Jaylen, my argument might go something like…

“Ladies and Gentlemen, Jaylen McCollough didn’t go looking for a fight that day. I submit the fight came to him. The original sin here was committed by the man who was too intoxicated to know which direction he was walking, too intoxicated to know left from right, forward from backward. He claims he entered the apartment where the defendant was at by mistake. A party foul. But how was Mr. McCollough to know that? How could Mr. McCollough be sure of the intoxicated intruder’s real intentions? Put yourself in his position for a moment. An intoxicated stranger barrels into your home without knocking, then claims to be lost and leaves. A lot of things might go through someone’s head in a chaotic, terrifying moment like this. Was the intoxicated intruder really lost? Was he perhaps casing the place to see who was present with the intention of returning later to do harm to one of the occupants? Could he have perhaps intended to return later to burglarize or vandalize the place? I’m not alleging these things Your Honor, but I think it’s fair to put ourselves into the mindset of the defendant in this case. I ask again, how could Mr. McCollough have known for certain the intentions of an intoxicated intruder who burst into the home as he minded his own business, relaxing with friends? Mr. McCollough, in a moment of chaos and fear wrought by the intruder, engaged him outside the home in an attempt to protect himself and his friends by incapacitating him before he could do further harm. Again Your Honor, it is more than fair to assert in this case that the defendant, Mr. McCollough, didn’t go looking for a fight; the fight came to him.”

If I were the prosecutor, I'd say "objection your honor- conjecture ", " objection your honor- foundation? ", " objection your honor conjecture"....and so on. Hope ur not his lawyer.

Nope. Knox county uses an advance trunking system since the sheriff at the time made kickback money off of it

What is wrong with you people. Do you just give up on common sense and the rule of law to make this story fit the narrative that is running thru your heads, or the narrative you'd like to have happen in your imaginary world?

Really, what is wrong with you people?

God Bless Josh Heupel

If JM says that’s what happened, I’ll believe it. But, until then, I just can’t believe that this guy is telling the whole story.

What’s wrong with you? Do you believe everything you hear when alcohol is involved?

Yes there is and here is that 4 page KPD initial incident report along with the photos of the stairs, Tank’s hand and Zion’s injuries.

JM is unlikely to say what happened. JM left a man unconscious, possibly dead or dying, after he knocked him down the stairs.

Slice and dice that the guy deserved punching but when he's unconscious after he's down the stairs and your fist is bleeding....... a certain amount of simple humanity should've taken over his behavior.

Zion looks pretty not dead or dying in the police photos and Tank’s pinkie knuckle has just a bit of blood coming through the wrap. Ever scraped a knuckle enough that it bleeds?

That’s just the initial report. Not the full one

Looks like he got punched in the face. That’s not a sucker punch. He also lost a tooth and a half. He’s big enough to take care of himself also.

Check it out, hell I’m the one that posted the information in here about the codes, both 39-13-101 & 102.

There is an account of one witness, the alleged victim. We all feel confident that JM punched him in the face, but the determination of guilt will hinge on whether or not he felt threatened. If Zion was hit in the mouth, he had to be facing him. If facing him, was he a threat? Was he walking toward JM? We don’t know. It will be very difficult to prove this given the location of his injury, unless JM’s girlfriend corroborates Zion. There is currently no record of that.

My own subjective opinion is that there was a smarter way out of this for JM. Convicting him of aggravated assault is a steep climb. The charge will be reduced. Someone will buy Zion some new teeth. JM might sit a game.

It’s funny that they didn’t redact the phone number of the victim—seems like KPD could be liable for any harassment (text or otherwise) received by the victim.

Also worth noting that they DID redact McCollough’s address on page 1, but then, there’s the address in full view underneath the photos of the stairwell.

He’s basically Tank’s height and weight although not as physically fit as an elite athlete obviously.

So what would you do if you just knocked a man down a flight of stairs and he's unconscious?

If JM felt threatened and acted in self defense, call the cops and plead your case because the man be dead or dying. It could've been MUCH worse when he left the guy knocked out. I'm thankful he didn't get a subdural hematoma or some other not immediately visible head injury.

A LOT could've been much worse in this and JM is damn lucky the guy isn't dead.

Public record is public record. You can also pay $10 and see the body cam video

And, when JM tells his side, are you going to believe JM. Some here are quick to throw JM under the bus when you’ve only heard one side. I think some people are going to feel bad when we finally hear JM’s side of the story.

It sounds like you’re assuming the guy crashed and burnt down the stairs, but what if he stumbled backwards down them, missed the last couple and hit his head upon landing backwards. Just as plausible as your scenario since the report doesn’t specify exact details of that.

 

[swampfoxfan]

Zion doesn't look to be in bad shape.

I'm open. There's no doubt JM left the scene and was not present when police got there. He showed up later with the bandage.

Again, even if the guy hit him first, he left a man unconscious. That's dangerous behavior for anyone who just had an altercation with the unconscious person.

That's how people end up dead from a simple fight after hitting their head when they're knocked the F out. What would be the charge if this guy had not regained consciousness?

Again, there was an altercation and a guy ended up down the stairs unconscious and bleeding.

At what point is the other person in the altercation responsible for just being human and getting the man who could be badly injured in a fall some help?

I would think the two people, one was Tank’s girl, who were there helping Zion get to his feet count as help.

 

[My VOLS are huge]

You can’t chase a guy down the hall and then sucker punch him in the back of the head so hard you cause him to fall and nearly break your own hand

Seeing how you have more info than the rest of us, can you answer the question of, was he punched in the back of the head as you say or was he punched in the face as the victim states in the police report?

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

So you don't think JM hurt his case by leaving a guy unconscious and not calling the police? If this were reversed and JM had walked in the wrong apt and ended up unconscious and the guy just left him there, you guys would be calling for attempted murder charges.

It's dumb as hell to leave someone unconscious after a fight. Seriously, people die from bad luck and getting knocked the F out and getting a brain bleed. You can be tough as hell and defend yourself and hurt people but you don't have to be stupid about it.
