Hazel                                      Pascoe                   Smith

An incident at the Princess Theater Saturday morning led to the arrests of three Fort Campbell soldiers.

The report from Hopkinsville Police Officer Edward Eastman says he was on foot patrol at 9^th and Main just after midnight and heard what seemed to be a disturbance next to the Princess Theater.

He writes that he found 27-year old Patrick Hazel of North Charleston, South Carolina being told by a bouncer that he needed to leave the area. When told by police that he should leave to avoid going to jail, Hazel reportedly said “yes sir,” but that’s also when 22-year old Sharon Pascoe of White Cloud, Michigan allegedly ran and pushed Officer Eastman, saying “get off of him.”

Officer Eastman attempted to physically subdue Pascoe, but she allegedly kicked and punched him while a third suspect—26-year old Tiffany Smith of Capitol Heights, Maryland also allegedly became physically involved in the altercation.

Sgt. Mike Felts showed up for backup and police had to use a taser on Hazel after he allegedly used physical force on Felts. More officers showed up and police were eventually able to subdue all three and arrest them on assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and being drunk in public charges.
