Suspect With Knife Defeats Taser Attempts During Struggle With Officers

* (Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only) Alpena, Michigan — On December 21, 2025, officers took a report of a stolen vehicle from the City of Alpena. A full description of the vehicle was obtained. The complainant reported that the vehicle was believed to be driven by Violet Crane. It was confirmed through the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) that Violet had a valid felony warrant for Unlawfully Driving Away of an Automobile (UDAA). An APD officer located this vehicle on December 22, 2025, at approximately 0029 hours on Grant St. A traffic stop was initiated, and the vehicle came to a stop in the parking lot of the Birchwood Meadows parking lot. Two APD officers were assisted on scene by two Michigan State Police (MSP) troopers. Shortly after the traffic stop, 35-year-old Jackson Jacobs exited the passenger side of the vehicle. MSP troopers began speaking with Jacobs away from the suspect vehicle. APD officers located Violet Crane in the backseat of the vehicle. Crane voluntarily stepped out of the vehicle, and she was placed under arrest for the UDAA warrant. After a glass pipe was located on Jacobs’ person, a physical altercation ensued between him and the MSP troopers. APD officers disengaged from Crane to assist the troopers. During the altercation, Jacobs produced a knife, which he used to cut/stab an APD officer and an MSP trooper's shoulder. As all ground tactics were unsuccessful, an APD officer deployed his Taser while Jacobs was still engaged with the MSP troopers. The Taser was unsuccessful. One of the MSP troopers disengaged and deployed his Taser, which was also unsuccessful. Jacobs still had the knife in his possession and continued to refuse commands to drop the knife. At this time, an APD officer fired his department-issued pistol at Jacobs three times. Aid was rendered to Jacobs on scene. Jacobs ultimately succumbed to his injuries. Both MSP troopers and one APD officer were treated at the hospital. The APD officer was transported to a hospital downstate for surgery and released the following day. Both MSP troopers were treated and released. The incident was investigated by the MSP Seventh District Special Investigative Section (SIS). The investigation was turned over to the Alpena County Prosecutor's Office. On March 20, 2026, Alpena County Prosecutor Cynthia Muszynski, concluded the APD officer was justified in using deadly force when he discharged his firearm, and criminal charges will not be issued against the officer. The injured APD officer was recently medically cleared and has returned to full duty. 🚨𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠. ⚠️𝑉𝑖𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑑𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡.⚠️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - KHALID - Michael Griffin - John Doe - 'Twitchypowpow' - Lillian Daley - Tyrell Robertson - christine Grinter - 'The Evil Queen' - Benjamin Osgood - Gary Wilson - LJ - Edward Aquino - Brianna Wilkins - William - Elisabeth Craig - Bobby Roach - Sarin Dipity - Becky Hopkins - thomas - Cody Stephens - Troy Polansky - Tulla Belle - 'quadrakyiro' - Scott Mackin - "John B.
