Responding officers were sent photos from the Real Time Information Center (RTIC) of an individual later identified as Keith Brewer, [DOB REDACTED], Defendant herein. The RTIC photo showed Defendant brandishing a knife and Defendant had it up in the air as if he were about to assault someone.

Officers arrived and observed Defendant attempting to enter the bus. Officers observed that Defendant still had the knife in his right hand and instructed him to drop the knife, which he did. Officers then placed Defendant under arrest. Defendant is currently in custody.
