In Dothan, Daleville police sergeant Tyrian Quartez Richey, 24, was arrested Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Clarion Inn and Suites, following a physical altercation with Dothan police officers. Dothan officers booked Richey into the Dothan City Jail. He is charged with Disorderly Conduct, Harassment of a Public Official, and Obstructing Government Operations.
His arrest came after an incident during which Richey became verbally combative with Dothan officers who had responded to a suspicious person call at the hotel, per an arrest report.
Dothan police Lt. Ray Mock says patrol officers noticed a suspicious vehicle outside a hotel Saturday and saw people laying down inside of it. He says officers were speaking with the occupants when Richey came down from a motel room and started an “altercation.”
Richey has since posted a signature bond and been released.
According to Daleville Police Chief Allen Medley the incident is under investigation. Richey has been suspended pending the investigation.
