Jeffery Ward bites officers hand, threatens to shoot them during altercation at Kid Rock’s Honky Tonk

60-year-old Jeffery Ray Ward needed medical assistance at Kid Rock’s Honky Tonk on July 20th. Officers Ferrari, Ehman, and Balbi were flagged down by security at the establishment regarding the occurrence. When officers arrived, they located Ward and were advised by complainants that he may have had a seizure, so officers requested medics. During their interaction, officers noticed that Ward was visibly intoxicated, reeking of alcohol, and was uncooperative with everyone, including the group he was with. Ward began cursing at his acquaintances, pushing their arms away, and shoving them as they tried to help escort him to the Medical UTV. While on the rooftop, Ward threatened law enforcement, expressing his intentions to fight them while they continued assisting him. Ward’s acquaintances walked him outside to the UTV because he was impaired, and they did not want him to be arrested for his behavior. Ward then refused medical attention, so the medics left.

After this, officers observed his friend group having a hard time controlling him and that he appeared as if he was on the verge of being assaultive with them. Ward then had a medical emergency where he either fainted or had a seizure, causing officers to call medics back to the location. When they returned, Ward continued to refuse medical treatment, remained unruly, and, at one point, told Officers Ehman and Ferrari that he would shoot them if they tried arresting him. Ward was then deemed a danger to himself, and when officers went to handcuff him, he tensed up, refusing to put his hands behind his back until they detained him. During a subsequent search, officers discovered a loaded, black .38 Smith & Wesson with four unspent rounds in a black holster and four pills in a baggy, later identified as Oxycodone. While searching him, Ward was irate and started spitting on Officer Ferrari, so he used his palm to keep Ward’s face away from him, which was when he bit Officer Ferrari’s hand, leaving a visible mark. In response, to maintain control, Officer Ferrari pushed him toward the patrol car because he was still tensed up, trying to face him and disregarding his commands. Ward was taken into custody for simple possession, public intoxication, weapon possession while under the influence, resisting arrest, and two counts of assault on an officer on July 21st.

Meghan Wise aka “$Megaweed on yo sh*t” sells undercover officers multiple 8-Balls of cocaine via Telegram chat

21-year-old Meghan Wise used the username “$megaweed on yo sh*t” in a Telegram thread named “615 Traphouse,” and detectives conducted a controlled-buy operation with an undercover officer at the Hamilton Church Road Walmart on September 22nd, 2023. Wise was advertised as “a runner” in the chat. The police began talking with her and set up a transaction to buy an 8-ball of cocaine for $230 on September 22nd, 2023. “Megaweed” and undercover agents agreed to meet at Walmart, and on the day of the operation, she stated she was driving a red Mazda 6. Then, officers spotted her car parked near the Lawn and Garden part of the store, closer to the back. A white female, later identified as Wise, aka “Megaweed,” exited the Mazda and walked to the front of the location. She then messaged undercovers, telling them she was there. Then, officers messaged back, saying they were already parked near her vehicle, and when she returned, she and the detective sat in the Mazda. They presented Wise with the money, and she handed them a bag with a white, powdery substance. After this, both parties left the parking lot. Officers tested the substance, which tested positive for cocaine and fentanyl, weighing 9 grams. They ran the tags through NCIC and found the red Mazda was registered to a “Meghan Wise.” After running her driver’s license number, the undercover detective positively identified her as the person in question. A warrant was then issued for her arrest on March 15th, 2024.

On September 27th, 2023, Midtown Hills CFIT conducted a second controlled-buy operation with an undercover detective at the Hamilton Church Road Walmart. Wise had previously sold them narcotics a few days prior. On September 24th, 2023, she realized she had provided a larger amount than discussed, so they set up another buy to pay off the difference and purchase another 8-ball of cocaine, totaling $550. Undercover detectives were in the parking lot when Wise arrived in her red Mazda 6. Then, undercover officers approached her, and after a quick conversation, she handed them the drugs. During the dialogue, the undercover detective talked the total price down to $540 before leaving. Once the transaction ended, officers tested the substance, which was again positive for cocaine and fentanyl, weighing 6 grams. An additional warrant was issued for her arrest on March 15th, 2024.
