Monday night 03/15/21, my wife, my sister, my grandson, and my niece went to bowl for family night 6 to 9pm.  The fun ended abruptly when a teenage girl got gang beaten by two black adult females while several adult men kept her boyfriend at bay so he could not stop the beating.  Scared my family to death, especially my sister, she is terrified of blood, and she had her granddaughter with her who was 12, but my wife went over to console the young girl and help her clean her bloody face from the beating she had taken to her face and the back of her head.  Even a young adolescent child joined in the attack.  Three people complained to management about the beating of the teenager and nothing was done about it.  The assailants ran out of the establishment as soon as they realized that people had went to management to report the assault.  I assume the attackers realized the police would be there soon.  My wife told me she saw police with lights on at Tuchalahoma and Goodman with their lights on doing high rates of speed heading that way on her way home and she assumed they were heading to the bowling alley.  When my family decided to leave after the assault on the young girl they were terrified, they immediately turned in their shoes, returned their balls, paid the bill and left.  The young teenage couple had not left yet, but my sister was so terrified after the assault she had to leave after all my niece is 12 and my grandson is 13.  I can see their concern, I found out later, they were the only people concerned about what happened that night.  While leaving and going to their cars, the gang outside saw them leaving, I assume they thought it was the same young girl they beat up when they saw my 12 year old niece, pulled out a gun and started firing shots.  According to my wife and sister they fired 3 to for times, they ran terrified to their cars and got the hell out of the War zone.  The next morning  I found out what had happened and went to the bowling alley to talk to the owner.  I found out that the police were never called.  I called the police and they definitely knew nothing about the gang related assault and shooting that had happened less than 12 hours earlier.  I gave the owner my number and he said he would investigate it with his managers that were on duty and call me.  I then took my wife and grandson to the Southaven police department to file a complaint on the assault and the shooting that had happened.  The officer also told me he would call me to give me answers.  Well Wednesday came to nighttime and I had heard nothing.  I talked with my sister and she said she had spoken to the bowling alley as well and they have not responded to her either, so I called the bowling alley and the police to demand answers.  The police said they didn’t have any so I told them I would be up there that night and I called the bowling alley to talk to the owner again.  I was put on hold and told they would get Christian the manager.  No one got on the phone for more than 4 minutes so I called back.  I talked with a person who claimed to be the manager.  I told him I gave my number to the owner and he was to call me back about what had happened.  I told him if the owner didn’t call me back soon that I would come up there in 20 minutes to talk to him.  The manager immediately told me if I came up their he was calling the police on me. (I thought this was weird)  I told him great because I was going to the police station right after I left them at the bowling alley.  I didn’t arrive for at least an hour because I was eating at Colton’s in olive branch.  It seemed odd to me that the manager said he was calling the police on me if I came to complain to management, why I asked myself.  Then I thought he was probably there Monday and knew the offenders and that’s why no police were called.  He also told me that he had already spoke to the police and that the assault and shooting never happened.  I told the police dispatch I wanted answers and I was coming there as well.  On the way home I stopped by the bowling alley and saw 2 police cars with officers parked in front of the building.  My grandson and myself went inside past the officers, walked to the front desk and asked for the manager, Christian, they paged him and a teenage boy came up to me and claimed he was the manager.  I handed him my card explained who I was and that I needed his owner to call me in the morning. He said okay.  I turned to leave and all of a sudden a tall guy ran up to me with a thin beard and started yelling that he had called the police on me and that I must leave the building now.  I said that’s fine because I was heading to the police station next anyway.  As I was leaving, I got almost to the door, the 2 officers came in,  walking towards the front desk.  I walked right between them, they turned and followed my grandson and myself out the door and yelled for me to stop. One officer asked me for my ID, I didn’t have it so I gave him my name and Social Security Number.  He already knew why I was there because he announced to me that no shooting was caught on camera.  I told him I was there for more than the shooting, a young teenage girl was assaulted in there as well as my family being shot at in the parking lot.  He told me that I was not the victim and I didn’t file the report and I should not be there, I was going to be charged with disrupting a business, he said he saw me on camera pointing my finger, and yelling at the staff.  I told him no it was the tall guy pointing his finger and yelling at me is what he saw on camera, all the while me knowing that the officers just came through the door as I was leaving, so they didn’t see anyone doing the pointing or yelling.  The officer then told me if I put words in his mouth I was going to jail.  I said no I’m not, I didn’t do anything to go to jail.  He said if the staff wants to press charges he is going to put me in jail.  I said I didn’t do anything that he could take me to jail for.  I gave the manager my card and asked him to have the owner call me.  The officer told me 3 times he was taking me to jail.  I told him I was on my way to the police station next for answers.  He told me I wouldn’t get any at the bowling alley and I wouldn’t get any at the police station either.  I remained peaceful, obeyed them, and was released, I hadn’t done anything and I knew there was no camera of me pointing or yelling at anyone of those kids inside, just didn’t happen.  I finally turned and went to the car where my wife was waiting to take me to the police station.  I was greeted by Sgt. Cook who had told me the 2 officers had called him.  He knew the complaint I had about the bowling alley already because I had called from olive branch and told them I was coming there.  He had also received a call from the 2 officers when I had left.  They told a different story then mine so he was getting their body cams, and audio; just like I was being recorded and videotaped in the police station I was recorded at the bowling alley talking to the officers by their body cams.  I found that completely great because now I needed to file a complaint on the officers because they were threatening to arrest me for complaint about criminal activity that took place at the bowling alley where nothing was done about it, and the staff and the officers were wanting me put in jail for handing the manager my card for the owner to call me and answer my questions.  Wow.  You can be assaulted at this bowling alley, you can be intimidated and shot at in their parking lot and no one alerts the police, but God help you if you wish to complain or speak to someone in charge to find answers.  Not only will they call the police, they will have them there waiting on you to arrive and then threaten to put you in jail for it.  I think someone has their priorities confused.  I plan to put this on my blog and on all social media.  Everyone knows I own my own computer company Techanywhere.com  and that I am a pretty good guy over all. I’m just saddened by the lack of effort by the police in this and the bowling alley’s attempt to cover this up.  Please if anyone knows the little girl that was assaulted, tell her to call the police.  The bowling alley never reported her beating to the police.  If my family hadn’t of been shot at in her defense, and my urging them to go to the police, this would be lost.  The people who beat little children and shoot at innocent people can do it anytime they wish to in Southaven, especially at the War Zone, at the Snowden Bowling Alley.
