Overview of the Incident: Three separate incidents will be explained in this report, that all occurred during the same shift.

First, following the detainment of an SSD criminal who had taken items belonging to mr. Snyder, mr. Snyder attempted to remove items from the detained body of the suspect while I was taking them to the brig for processing. As far as protocol is concerned, all items located on a criminal are considered evidence until deemed otherwise in an investigation, and mr. Snyder should have waited until we got to the brig before trying to take back his hat. I informed him of this twice, both times electing to move the suspect's body so that he could not complete the actions of retrieving his hat. The third time, mr. Snyder drew his firearm, a colt .45. I froze, he took his hat, and reholstered his firearm. While he did not specifically point the weapon at me, considering the fact that there was no apparent physical threat to neither of us, it is my belief that the weapon was unholstered as a means of intimidation. At which point, this would be a violation of article i115 [Threat of Murder or Serious Injury] of Corporate Regulation.

The second incident took place over the security channel roughly 15 minutes afterwards. While attempting to explain that policing one's brass is the hallmark of a disciplined weapon's user, mr. Snyder retorted over the security channel near-verbatim: "Do I strike you as disciplined?"

With this incident having just occurred, I was walking past the bar. In there, I spotted mr. Snyder and mr. Ivanov engaging in a bar fight. At the moment of walking in, I saw both individuals armed with makeshift weaponry (broken bottles), and mr. Snyder was assailing mr. Ivanov. In order to defuse the situation, I utilized a flashbang and cuffed both individuals. I proceeded to request for assistance over the security channel at least three times, but was unable to receive a reply for at least five minutes. Both suspects were bleeding from the bruisers they had inflicted upon each other. I sat mr. Snyder down in a chair, and was holding mr. Ivanov next to myself. A medical officer came over and started treating mr. Ivanov. At this moment, I saw what I believed to be mr. Snyder attempting to break free of his restraints. Though bleeding, his injuries were light enough to enable this action. A further consideration for the following actions was the fact that mr. Snyder was still armed with his .45 caliber pistol, and that I had yet to receive any back-up. In order to stop any further trouble, I took my taser and fired three bolts at mr. Snyder and incapacitated him. Shortly thereafter, I gave mr. Ivanov to the medical officer and took mr. Snyder myself, we proceeded over to the medical bay.

It is only at this point, following, as previously stated, roughly five minutes of constant requests over the security channel that another officer finally responded. Officer Olivia arrived at the medical bay and went to watch over the treatment of mr. Ivanov. I stayed with mr. Snyder and waited for the medical staff to clear him. Once cleared, we proceeded over to the brig where mr. Snyder was processed, his firearms removed, and his person searched. At this point, we discovered items belonging to the initial suspect (the scientist) on his person. Mr. Snyder excused himself, saying that he had been incapable of returning them. However, considering there was at least 15 minutes between the capture and processing of the scientist, in which mr. Snyder played an active role, and this situation, the excuse was deemed unfitting and he was charged with violating article i206 [Neglect of Duty] for failing to properly secure evidence in a timely fashion, and leaving them on his person.

He was further charged with violation of article i103 [Minor Assault] of Corporate Regulation for attacking mr. Ivanov and causing his skull to fracture. Mr. Snyder explained that he was acting in self defence against an assailant with a knife, however, I saw no knife on the crimscene and mr. Snyder did not use proper means (his firearm loaded with LTL rounds) to defend himself; he instead opted to fight with improvised weaponry and sharp instruments, causing more than excessive damage to the claimed attacker. He also did not call for any assistance over the security radio network.

Mr. Ivanov was also charged with violating i103 [Minor Assault] of Corporate Regulation for the same incident.

Did you report it to a Head of Staff or IAA? If so, who?: Yes. Vira Taryk, Head of Security at the time, conducted an investigation into this incident during the duration of the shift.

Additional notes: While the incidents were handled mid-shift by ms. Taryk, I would wish these to go on record, should further offences of similar nature arise with mr. Snyder involved. The misuse of firearms is a very serious issue.
