Number 7 Jon Jones Widely regarded as one of the greatest mixed
martial artist of all time, UFC fighter Jon Jones also earned a reputation as one the sport’s most
controversial figures. He was suspended on several occasions throughout his career and has had
multiple high-profile run-ins with the law. In September of 2021, hours after he’d been inducted
in the UFC’s Hall of Fame, the police was called to Jones’ room at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas,
Nevada. The 911 call had been placed by hotel security after Jones’ youngest daughter had asked
them for help. Responding officers noted that Jessie Moses, Jones’ fiancée, appeared to have
been struck by him, but the woman maintained that the MMA fighter had only pulled her hair. Jones
was taken into custody and bodycam footage of his interaction with law enforcement was released in
the aftermath. As multiple officers struggled to contain the distraught fighter, he cried out
“I hate you” multiple times. He yelled at an officer “Hang me. Hurt me and kill me. What did I
do? A Black man can't drink?” Jones was asked to put his face on the hood of the cruiser
at which point he slammed his head, full-force, into the police vehicle, leaving a medium-sized
dent. Arresting officers also mentioned that Jones had threatened and challenged them to a fight,
claiming that he could break free from the handcuffs. He was, eventually, taken to jail
without incident. Jones was charged with one count of domestic battery, a misdemeanor, and
one count of tampering with a police vehicle, a felony. In December, the former charge was dropped
while Jones pleaded no contest to the latter. The fighter was ordered to pay $750 in restitution,
attend anger management therapy, and was given a court order to keep out of legal trouble.
Number 6 Incident in Wilmslow In late July of 2021, police in the town
of Wilmslow, Cheshire, England, were called to the Revolution bar following reports that fighting had
broken out. After the arrival of law enforcement at the crowded scene, a female officer, only
identified as Constable Dowse, was met by several inebriated women. They’d reportedly been drinking
gin, wine and cocktails while celebrating the end of lockdown. Dowse told them to go home as they
were repeatedly interfering with the police’s efforts at the scene. The group, subsequently
deemed a “rabbled mob”, grabbed the policewoman by the hair and pulled her to the ground. Dowse
was then repeatedly struck in the head and body, suffering swelling to her face as well as bruising
to her hip, thigh, knee and back. The woman, who’d recently become a mother, later claimed
to have been left “emotionally broken” by the attack and struggling to return to work. Bethany
Bennett and Njeri Swanston, both 24, admitted assault on a police officer in the aftermath.
The former had allegedly initiated the beatdown by grabbing Dowse’s hair and body armor. Swanston
was also reported to have slapped a second police officer on the shin after he’d asked to her move
while she was sat on a grass verge. Millie Curley and Courtney Hardy, aged 21 and 25 respectively,
were deemed to have played a smaller part in the assault and were convicted of obstructing a police
officer. All four women were spared jail time but were left with criminal records and told in court
they had “embarrassed” themselves. Number 5 Rochelle Kelley
Police authorities in Weare, New Hampshire, conducted a traffic stop on July the 25th of 2021,
after finding that a vehicle, driven by Samuel Kelley, had an expired inspection sticker
and state registration. The police issued two citations and determined that the car was to be
towed. Kelley’s wife, 33-year-old Rochelle, then prevented officers from conducting an inventory of
the items inside. Law enforcement told the woman, a reported Weare School Board member, that she was
being placed under arrest. Rochelle then launched a string of profanities at the officers, including
a homophobic slur, and screamed at them to loosen her handcuffs. Her husband captured the incident
on his cell phone and the woman was subsequently taken into custody on charges of obstructing
government administration and resisting arrest. Rochelle’s behavior was labeled a public meltdown
by multiple media outlets reporting on the case. Since the dawn of the pandemic,
through her position as a school board member, she had questioned the effectiveness of masks and,
subsequently, of vaccines meant to prevent the spread of COVID-19. At the height of the pandemic,
in 2020, she’d been arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after refusing to vacate a
playground that had been shut down. In the video-recorded incident, Rochelle and two
other adults had told officers that it was their constitutional right to be at the playground,
in spite of the governor’s emergency order. The disorderly conduct charge was eventually dropped
but the woman’s 2021 legal troubles were still unresolved, as of the latest updates.
Number 4 Katie Rees
In February of 2008, a routine traffic stop escalated into an arrest for dethroned Nevada
beauty queen Katherine “Katie” Rees. The young woman had made headlines in 2006 after salacious
photos of her partying at a Florida nightclub had emerged. In them she was shown simulating an
intimate act, exposing her breasts, pulling down her jeans to reveal her thong, and also engaging
in behavior deemed inappropriate with some of her female friends. Miss USA co-owner and future US
President Donald Trump consequently stripped Rees of her Miss Nevada title and the chance
to win the national competition. During the 2008 stop, conducted at around 3 am, she was reported
to have become aggressive towards a police officer. An altercation ensued during which,
as later stated by her lawyer, Rees either lost or chipped a tooth. She was taken into custody
on multiple charges that included, speeding, driving with a suspended license and resisting a
police officer. In light of her previous scandal, Rees’ booking photo earned a considerable degree
of public attention in the aftermath. The incident was one of several that occurred during the beauty
queen’s fall from grace. In September of 2014 she was caught selling methamphetamine and,
a month later, found with several grams in her possession. She was arrested again
for felony drug possession the following year. Number 3 Samantha Grace Vaughan
Police officers patrolling in Copperas Cove, Texas, found a young child sleeping in the back
of a running Buick, at around 2 am, on July the 28th of 2019. The vehicle, which wasn’t locked,
had been parked outside of the Trackside Night Club and a police officer found its owner,
26-year-old Samantha Grace Vaughan, inside the establishment. When asked why she’d abandoned her
child, Vaughan claimed that she’d only entered the club to use the restroom. After law enforcement
noted that the woman smelled of alcohol, she admitted to have had two shots with her husband,
whom she’d planned to pick up from Trackside. Vaughan then flew into a fit of rage and used
racial slurs while shouting at officers that they won’t take her baby and place her with a
black person. Upon being told that she was under arrest, Vaughan pulled away from law enforcement,
dropped to the ground and started thrashing her body around. She continued being belligerent
after she was placed inside the patrol car. Aside from yelling at the officers, she smashed her head
against a steel bar, twice. Vaughan’s booking photo would show the heavily tattooed woman
widely grinning while also sporting a cut on her forehead from the previous incident. She
was charged with abandoning or endangering a child with intent to return, resisting arrest and making
a threat against a public servant. Number 2 Kiley Dippery
Just before 11 pm, on August the 16th of 2019, in the area of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, officers
heard a woman screaming incessantly and converged to her location. They approached 22-year-old Kiley
Dippery, from Pennsylvania, and learned that she’d become separated from her boyfriend.
Law enforcement, who didn’t subsequently detail whether the woman was intoxicated, helped her back
to her hotel room, where she was reunited with her partner. A few minutes later, they returned to the
room, after Dippery had resumed screaming loudly, attracting the attention of other hotel guests.
The Rehoboth Beach Police Department placed her under arrest but she had to be assisted out and
became combative while they were trying to put her in the patrol car, kicking an officer in the leg.
The woman then vomited in the patrol car and once again in the holding area of the police station,
where she also urinated on the floor. Her processing photo, showing Dippery with tears
in her eyes, was later released online. She was charged with resisting arrest with force or
violence, a felony, as well as offensive touching of a law enforcement officer and two counts of
disorderly conduct. She was committed to Sussex Correctional Institutional on a bail of $3,200.
Number 1 Lovelle Jordan
In May of 2022, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, in Chicago,
released bodycam footage of an arrest that had dramatically escalated, on July the 30th of 2020.
On that day, Lovelle Jordan was arrested in the Austin neighborhood, while he was attempting to
steal a Porsche. At the time, he was on parole for gun charges and had just been released from
electronic monitoring the month prior. He’d already entered the high-end vehicle and
vigorously resisted arrest when officers tried removing him. They wrestled with Jordan, who
curled up his legs, claiming he “got scared”, and kept his groin area oriented towards the ground
in the scuffle. What officers didn’t realize at the time, was that Jordan had managed to conceal
a handgun between his legs. The police found his phone, money and drugs but not the firearm.
27-year-old Jordan even convinced them to handcuff him in the front, claiming he had a medical
condition. Upon arrival at Grand Central District Station, 49-year-old Officer Jason Cloherty tried
removing Jordan from the backseat. It was at that point that he produced the semiautomatic handgun
and opened fire, striking Cloherty in the neck at point blank range. The officer managed to roll to
the rear of the vehicle and then rose to his feet to shoot at Jordan, who took cover between a wall
and a vehicle. Cloherty then reached the safety of the police station. Jordan shot two more officers,
James Rowe and James Kurth, before he too was struck by gunfire in the arm and subsequently
left paralyzed. A total of six officers were involved in the shootout, including Cloherty,
Rowe and Kurth, all of whom survived and were subsequently honored for their work
in September of 2020. Jordan was given a plethora of charges in aftermath,
which included six felony counts of attempted murder, felony drug and weapon possession as well
as resisting arrest. On April the 11th of 2022, Jordan was sentenced to 31 years in prison but
died a little over a week later, while in custody, but the cause wasn’t disclosed by the authorities.
