Octave JOHNSON, famous for his work in “Ray Donovan”, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon … after cops said he threw a fire extinguisher at a jogger.
Police sources told TMZ … that Burbank officers responded to a call that a man threw a fire extinguisher at a jogger when they encountered Octavius, who cops said matched the description of the suspect. We are told that the cops tried to detain him, but he refused to comply and led the police in a brief run.
Cops grabbed Octavius and arrested him after the alleged victim identified him as the culprit. We are told that the officers recovered a fire extinguisher, and Octavius was booked for assault with a lethal weapon and resisting arrest.
Octavius allegedly continued his rampage in a Burbank Police Department cell … we are told he vandalized the phone inside the cell, violently hitting the phone booth with the portable receiver.
Our sources say the assault case was presented to the LA County District Attorney’s Office, but the prosecutor referred the case to the Burbank City Attorney’s Office, which dismissed the case due insufficient evidence and a witness unwilling to cooperate.
We are told that the Burbank city attorney will now look into the vandalism allegation for possible misdemeanor prosecution.
The manager of Octavius, Danny Estrada, tells TMZ … “Octavius has mental health issues and is currently receiving the help he needs.”
