Officer Burkes-Personal Narrative

On 06/14/2017 around 1750 hours, I, Officer Burkes, responded to a report of a suspicious person knocking on a door at 1504 Homestead Blvd. The caller stated that a white male was bleeding all over her door and asking her to call 911. When I arrived on scene, I noticed a white male, later identified as Alex Schesny, sitting between the screen door and steele door. I asked Alex to get up and walk out to the back of my patrol car. Once on the back of my car, I retrieved my gloves out of the front seat.

I noticed Alex had a large hematoma above his right eye, a possible orbital rupture of his left eye and a large laceration on the back of his right arm.

Once this happened, Sgt. Bever held Alex 's arms down while Rosemary applied restraints. I applied pressure on Alex 's face to keep his head turned so he could not spit or bite any of us while he was being restrained. While Alex was being resistive, Acadian Paramedic gave him a shot of Ketamine to calm him down. Within 5 minutes, Alex was relaxed and sedated. Once loaded up on the ambulance, Alex was transported to Singing River Hospital for
