Disturbance Call Turns into Slew of Felony Arrests

On March 26, 2026, just before 7:00 am, officers responded to reports of a disturbance in the 100 block of Rock Bridge Road.  As officers were responding, dispatchers provided a description of the people involved in the disturbance.  An officer observed two individuals, one male and one female, matching the description and attempted to approach them.  The two individuals took off running as the officers gave chase.  The female, identified as Shadavia Marcel (23), was captured a short distance away and identified after providing a false name.  Marcel told officers she knew she had warrants so she ran.  While searching Marcel’s belongings, officers found methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia.

The male was captured by a different officer.  The male, who also gave a false name knowing he had warrants, was identified as Jamal McClendon (37).  Once officers de-escalated the scene, it was determined an argument between parties had turned physical.  A third individual, Jasmiuna Wheeler (31), was determined to be the primary aggressor of the argument.  Wheeler was also arrested on scene.

Shadavia Marcel was charged with Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance (Methamphetamine), Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and her outstanding warrants.

Jamal McClendon was charged with Obstructing Justice Using a False Identity and his outstanding warrants.

Jasmiuna Wheeler was charged with Domestic Violence 3rd degree.
