Overview of the Incident:
Daniel Richter asked for a member of Command to come to the brig following the abrupt and off-the-rails conclusion to a boxing match on the Holodeck with Simo Helminen. Upon reaching the brig, Mister Richter informed me that Officer Tilton and Officer Conway were attempting to charge him for continuing the agreed-upon boxing match with Simo Helminen after an interruption of the Holodeck’s programming, which warranted the fight to be called off by Officer Tilton for safety reasons.

Mister Richter claimed that the fight was still going and that Mister Helminen was consenting to continue the fight even while the Holodeck’s programming features were interrupted by another crewmate. The interruption caused their boxing gloves, an effective safety feature to prevent serious injury during a boxing match, to disappear. After talking with Officer Tilton, Officer Conway, and Mister Helminen, it seems everyone besides Mister Richter agreed that the boxing match was called off, at least until the interruption was solved. The interruption did not have a chance to be solved as Richter had engaged Helminen while the latter attempted to back off and disengage. I believe Mister Helminen had to receive medical treatment though I cannot confirm that.

Officer Tilton and Conway attempted to confront Richter and give him a relatively minor charge for the offense. Mister Richter decided to continue to argue his stance, after three separate parties claimed the opposite was true, including the victim. As this argument continued, Officer Tilton and Conway demanded that Richter come into the brig and take his charge, even to defend himself if he felt he was wrongly charged by submitting an incident report following shift-end. This was when Richter drew his baton claiming he was being falsely charge and that he will defend himself if they attempted to take him in. Officer Tilton, Conway, and I drew our disruptors as Daniel Richter became increasingly and exponentially more irate and hysterical, as he was unwilling to de-escalate the situation. I would like to note that Officer Tilton and Conway did their utmost best to remain calm and attempt to diffuse the situation while Daniel Richter hurled slurs and foul language at anyone and everyone who got in his way. A pattern that I had noticed occurred far earlier in the shift before the boxing match and following the incident.

The situation became violent as Officers Tilton and Conway attempted to take Richter into custody. Officer Tilton suffered a severe hit to her face while I believe Officer Conway suffered relatively minor injuries. Mister Richter suffered several hits to the chest and a few disruptor shots with the stun setting, though I am unaware of how severe the injuries were in particular. Paramedic Usul Guwan was able to treat all three of them. While in custody and his charges being filed, Richter resisted further, removing his handcuffs and attempting to escape Holding Cell A, grappling Officer Tilton in the process and taking several baton strikes by Officer Conway until he was once again subdued and treated by Paramedic Usul Guwan.

By shift end, the charges had not finished being filed and I had placed Officer Richter under suspension.
