San Luis Obispo police officers arrested a 30-year-old man on Tuesday evening who was threatening another park goer with scissors.

Shortly after 5 p.m., several 9-1-1 callers reported a male at Laguna Lake Park who was threatening another person on a park trail. When officers arrived at the park, witnesses told them the suspect had also picked up a large rock and threw it at the victim – a 51-year-old man.

The rock missed, and the suspect picked it up again and began to follow the victim.

Officers located the suspect who was holding a pair of scissors.  The suspect refused to comply with officer’s commands and ran away.

After officers used a rubber baton projectile round and pepper spray to take the suspect into custody, he jumped into the south end of Laguna Lake, hid in the reeds and refused to come out.

A SLO County sheriff K-9 went into the reeds after the suspect, but the the man hit the dog.

Officers then arrested Jyerick Nebeker, who they transported to a local hospital for treatment of a dog bite. While at the hospital, Nebeker continued to fight and spit into the face of one of the officers.

After being medically cleared, officers booked Nebeker in San Luis Obispo County Jail on charges of assault with great bodily injury, resisting arrest. a probation violation, battery on a peace officer, brandishing a deadly weapon and harming a peace officer dog. He is being held without bail.

Another example of how dangerous these mentally ill freaks we all see infesting the parks and streets. Lock them up as soon as they get arrested and keep them locked up till the justice system can say with 100% certainty they are safe to release.


Some good ‘ol compassionate democrat-inspired “restorative justice” should have this guy all rehabilitated and back into society in short order. I’m pretty sure illicit drugs probably had absolutely no connection whatsoever to his bat guano behavior, so while we are at it lets further deregulate all illicit drugs so California can become even more chilled out and awesome than it already is. /sarc


The DemoNcrat base.


He will probably be placed by HASLO at the Anderson Hotel or at the new 1422 Monterey Street instant ghetto.


The last crazy from the Anderson Hotel, an old man on probation for dealing drugs, was caught continuing to deal drugs and promptly released from jail with a Get out of Jail Free card from the Probation Department about a month ago. At least this guy is still in custody.
