The report said that Darden was originally arrested on May 21, 2025.
Authorities said that the incident began when Darden allegedly attempted to leave the C-hallway of the jail and became combative with officers attempting to restrain him. The report states that Darden allegedly pushed a jail officer multiple times.
During the altercation, the jail officer was reportedly pushed into a counter, sustaining a compressed disc injury to his lower back, requiring treatment at Atrium Urgent Care.
