Kaden Ray Alan Scott, 23, Terre Haute, was arrested by Officer Dustin Cain of the Jasonville Police Department early Friday, October 2. He was booked into the Greene County Jail at 5:35 a.m. His bond was set at $1,500 surety with ten percent cash allowed and he has since posted bond and been released.

Officer Cain was dispatched to a residence in Jasonville after a caller told dispatch Kaden Scott was belligerent and tearing things up inside the residence.

When Officer Cain arrived, Scott came out of the house and sat on the steps and a family member also came out and told the deputy Scott had unplugged everything in the house and whenever they tried to turn something back on, Scott would grab it and say to turn it off. The family member said Scott had been going in and out of the house for several hours as well as screaming and hollering.

Officer Cain reported that while he was trying to talk to the family member, Scott would interrupt and ask random questions and cuss at the family member and get up and walk off then come back and walk in and out of the house. Officer Cain said his behavior was very unusual. At one point around 5 a.m., Scott was allegedly yelling on the porch and was told to calm down. He shouted again.

GCSD Deputy Zachary Goad had also responded to assist and the two officers took Scott into custody but Scott allegedly tried to pull away from the deputy and spun around on the officer.

On the ride to the sheriff’s department, Officer Cain reported Scott tried to use his toes to roll a window down on the patrol vehicle.

Officer Cain said once at the sheriff’s department, jail staff had to assist getting Scott into the booking area because he refused to stand up and walk.

Scott is scheduled to appear at an initial hearing on October 15. He is facing preliminary charges of disorderly conduct – engaged in fighting or tumultuous conduct, a Class B misdemeanor, and resisting law enforcement – knowingly or intentionally forcibly resists, a Class A misdemeanor.
