Man arrested at North Florida Regional Medical Center after attacking security guards, pulling fire alarm
BY JENNIFER CABRERA
Alexander Travis Watson, 28, was arrested yesterday evening after attacking security guards and pulling the fire alarm at North Florida Regional Medical Center.
The incident began at about 3:50 p.m. in the north tower of the hospital, when Watson allegedly struck a security guard on the arm, then pushed him into a door, pulled a fire alarm, and ran down the stairwell. Watson then allegedly grabbed a second security guard, lifted him off the ground, and attempted to slam him to the ground. At one point, three security guards and a police officer were trying to subdue Watson. The police officer eventually decided to “dry-stun” (a tactic that does not use the probes but causes pain) Watson with the Taser; Watson then allegedly tried to turn the Taser back on the officer.
Watson has been charged with four counts of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, and making a false fire alarm. He is being held on $175,000 bond.

they should have upper the antie and just pounded the crap out of him. Would have saveed a lot of time, scumbag! Maybe he gets a close friend in jail?????????
Throw the book at this dumb ass. He’s a menace to society.
He’s obviously a mental case. Why didn’t law enforcement call in the crisis intervention team?
Personally, they should have let him jump off the top of the building… problem solved. At least if he would have survived the fall he was in the proper facility to receive care.
Very bad comments menace to society or let im jump out the roof whats wrong with people are those people going to be on a jury duty one day omg he could have had bad reaction to a drug like spice or mental breakdown of sorts lets not jump into conclusion before we know the facts
