Incident Report
Incident Information:
(Entry DtfTm: 04-11-2002 1845 Entered By: 63653 , CHURCH
Updated By:
Synopsis: I-Coleman disturbed the module by yelling loudly, and refused to be housed with a compatible
inmate.
Narrative: On the above date and time I was the module Deputy assigned to Q module with my partner Deputy
Brumfield. At 1810 1 moved I-Parker from room 32 to room 15. Parker is an EIF of an inmate housed upstairs
that physically attacked him this morning; therefore Parker cannot be housed in an upstairs room. Room 15
was the only open room to house a black inmate. Room 15 is currently occupied by I-Coleman. I checked their
head cards, and there is no EIF conflict with Parker and Coleman.
At 1840 1 brought Coleman back from M module where he completed his pro per call. As Coleman approached
his room, he saw Parker in the doorway. He said, "Oh no, get that motherfucker out of my cell. He's not going
in my cell." I asked Coleman why, and he yelled that they do not get along. I told Coleman that Parker's EIF
was upstairs, so Parker had to be housed downstairs, and '15 is the only open black room. I asked Parker if he
had a problem with Coleman. Parker said he never met Coleman before, and has never had any issue with
Coleman. I ordered Coleman to go into the room. Coleman yelled at Parker to get out of the room. Parker
walked out and Coleman walked in. 1 told Coleman to stand aside so Parker can enter the room. He said he
would not let Parker into his room. I ordered him twice more to let Parker in, and he refused.
During this entire confrontation Coleman was yelling loudly, disturbing the whole module. Many other inmates
yelled their encouragement to Coleman. I told Coleman at least three times to"take your tone down" because
he was too loud. I was willing to talk reasonably with Coleman, but he would not communicate except by
yelling. This situation interrupted my duties for at least ten minutes during count time. We had to make
additional moves in order to accomidate Parker downstairs.
Coleman later told Deputy Brumfield that Parker was his EIF from F module. I asked Parker if he knew
Coleman from a while ago on F module. Parker said, "1 never known that dude a day in my life." I called
classification Deputy Zamora, and she said that Coleman has no EIF history with Parker.
Coleman is a constant management problem. He often causes confrontations with Deputies when he does not
get things his way. The following are disciplinary write-ups that detail Coleman's history of problems with staff:
1004409: disruptive conduct
1006504: intefering with staff duties
1006520: disruptive conduct
1007268: insubordinate/insolent
2001987: disruptive conduct
2002198: disruptive conduct
2002223: refusal to obey an order
2002235:disruptive conduct
Coleman's status should be reviewed by classification.
