An out-of-control mohawked man went on an airport assault in Miami early this morning, tussling with workers and police before he was finally tasered and arrested.
Michael John Jones, 43, was arrested shortly after 2 a.m. after police said he went berserk inside one of the concourses at MIA.
According to a police report, Jones attacked two men without warning inside Concourse H, approaching them with fists clenched and then throwing a metal luggage cart at them.
The cart missed, but Jones wasn't finished. He got a hold of one of the victims and started punching him in the face, the report said.
When officers arrived and confronted Jones, he wasn't going quietly. He refused to get on the ground until he was threatened with getting Tasered. He finally did lay on the ground, but then got up and advanced on the officer.
The Taser didn't work at first, but when it finally did, it didn't stop Jones initially, and he reached the officer and began pummeling him.
Backup arrived, and the officers were able to wallop Jones into submission, but not before he was Tasered twice more.
An airport source said Jones had been outside the area earlier, punching taxi cab hoods. The source said he'd heard the man was a released prisoner who came in on a plane from Costa Rica, but police haven't verified that.
Jones was arrested and charged with assault, battery and resisting arrest with violence. His arrest photo showed his scruffy face bruised and a cut below his right eye.

If you want to visit a Third World Country for free, MIA is it. English is the 4th language down on signage.

The cops should have used lethal force in this case, once the Taser failed.

The guy should have been coming out on a stretcher at the minimum, and preferably in a bodybag.
At the point where the Taser fails, the officer should have went to his sidearm.

Don't commit assault at the airport, TSA hates the competition.

Wonder which John Marshall? Atlanta or Chicago?
Atlanta is only provisionally accredited, so it’s has never been held in much esteem.
