Dad and Son Shocked in Wild ‘Donkey-Style’ Polize Encounter

Dual Arrests Following Violent Confrontation with Police in Maricopa

A father and son duo, Dylan K. Rope, 21, and Dave Rope, 45, were apprehended by the Maricopa Police Department following a chaotic scene at their home on West Estrada Street. The incident unfolded Sunday night, igniting a series of confrontations that led to their arrest.

Authorities arrived after receiving reports of Dylan screaming uncontrollably. Upon arrival, officers encountered some resistance when Dylan’s brother attempted to mislead them by claiming to be his older brother. This attempt at deception was quickly unraveled when Dave Rope emerged to clarify the situation.

Both individuals had active arrest warrants at the time. Dylan was facing charges related to narcotics possession, while Dave had previously pleaded guilty to theft and ignored subsequent court mandates. Their non-compliance now compounded their legal trouble.

As officers attempted to locate Dylan inside the residence, Dave obstructed their efforts. Despite warnings regarding the legality of his actions, he continued to resist. The situation escalated when officers had to intervene physically, resulting in Dave being subdued with a taser.

The confrontation with Dylan was equally tumultuous. Described as flailing and aggressive, he resisted arrest forcefully, prompting the use of a taser to gain control of the situation. Upon being placed in a squad car, he exhibited further aggression by kicking an officer.

Both father and son were subsequently transported to Pinal County jail, facing serious charges: Dylan is now looking at potential imprisonment exceeding ten years, while Dave faces more than three years. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the consequences arising from conflict with law enforcement.
