two counts of simple assault, one count of disturbance of the peace and one count of violation of emergency curfew

If I parse that correctly, that’s four counts. Also mentioned in the Gulfport PD press release, there may be an immediate Cuyahoga County probation violation, restriction on travel. He’s really screwed himself here, likely a history of poor impulse control. It also mentioned he’s left the area, presumably to return to Ohio:

Further investigation revealed that Dagley has left the area and is no longer on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

I saw last night that the Gulfport PD had put out a tweet asking for info about this guy. I assumed he was from Mississippi, maybe even Gulfport, and wondered why he hadn’t been identified yet.

He was from Ohio?. Too much stupid in the water in Ohio. It’s sad, actually.

It’s got to be bothering Dagley no end that this incident most likely means his MENSA membership will be revoked.

Especially when the person you’re harassing is standing in front of camera broadcasting live.

And I hope we find out what Benjamin Eugene Dagley, from Ohio, was on parole for.

Is Eugene as a middle name going to be the 21st century predictor of criminality like Wayne as a middle name was in the 20th century?

I am sure there was no racial motivation, the guy just got mad of people outside during the storm.

Just speculating, but probably masturbating in a public space, with Bobert’s husband.

That’s the way it always ends for these nut jobs. They make a big scene, acting self righteous as hell and then we find out they are on probation or worse. Typical.

No censoring the headlines! – This was the dude who “waddles hard.” None of this “confronted” nonsense.
