Orlando, Florida — Straight from the police report at first, with minor editing for clarity:
“On January 9, 2020 at approximately 0257 hours, I, Officer J. Wilkins, was dispatched to the area of South Orange Avenue and East Pine for an armed assault emergency call. As I was driving south on Orange Avenue near Central, I saw several people running from the area. One person ran towards my marked police car and told me there was someone shooting a rifle on East Pine Street east of South Orange Avenue. I drove my car to this intersection, stopping just short of the intersection.
I exited my patrol vehicle, quickly moved around the building on the northeast corner of the intersection and I saw the suspect, later identified as Ryan Sarjoo walking west in the middle of East Pine Street between South Orange Avenue and South Court Avenue with a black AR-style rifle in his hands.
I notified other officers responding to the scene. Sarjoo walked to the south side of E Pine Street behind a dark colored BMW sedan. I could still see Sarjoo's head and the top of his white shirt while he was behind the BMW. After a moment, Sarjoo came out from behind the BMW, without the rifle and holding his hands in the air. Because Sarjoo had his hands in the air and they were free of weapons, Officers ordered Sarjoo to walk toward the police.
Sarjoo started walking west on the south side of E Pine Street (on the sidewalk) toward the officers giving him commands. Sarjoo stopped, lifted up his shirt, grabbed a black Glock handgun out of his waistline area and dropped it on the ground near him. Sarjoo was not ordered to do this. Sarjoo put his hands back into the air and turned away from the police. He was not ordered to do this. Sarjoo got onto his knees with his hands in the air and stayed near the gun he threw on the ground. Several officers approached Sarjoo, one officer going to the gun and the others going to Sarjoo to secure him. Sarjoo was placed stomach down on the ground and put into handcuffs. The handgun was secured in a police vehicle.”
Sarjoo was ultimately charged with:
(1) improper exhibition of a dangerous weapon or firearm;
(2) discharging a firearm in public;
(3) openly carrying a firearm, and;
(4) disorderly conduct.
We need a Florida man section on here. LOL
