Vandal swings on officer while in holding cell; gets pepper-sprayed, per report

31-year-old Ajae Salabie was charged with two counts of assault, aggravated burglary, and vandalism after he reportedly fought with his sibling, and assaulted two officers separately while being taken into custody.

On November 22nd, Clarksville Police Officer Wiessing responded to a fight at 1986 Laura Drive. When he arrived, he met with Davel Salabie. Per his account, his brother, Ajae Salabie, lives in the garage of his home. Ajae refused his request to get off his porch. A verbal altercation took place, in which he came to Davel’s residence without his permission and assaulted him, causing a physical altercation to take place.

Per the affidavit, Ajae then went outside and vandalized two vehicles, belonging to Davel and Dustiney Salabie, by hitting them with the handle of a kid’s riding toy and throwing rocks. The estimated cost of the damages was $1,500. During his arrest, he reportedly kicked an officer in the arm and chest as well.

Upon being taken to a holding cell to conduct a pat-down, he was instructed to remove his clothes. Per the affidavit, he was very hesitant to remove his pants and shorts. Correctional officers informed him that if he did not comply, they would have to spray him with pepper spray. At that moment, Ajae reportedly assaulted a correctional officer by hitting him on the left side of the face, causing the authorities to bring him to the ground and spray pepper spray in his face until he complied.

Ajae Salabie was arrested and charged with two counts of assault with threat of bodily injury, aggravated burglary, and vandalism. He is currently jailed in lieu of a $42,500 bond.
