Community activist Kathy Wray Coleman was arrested a short time ago at Public Square. Reporters on scene captured the arrest as well as some initial info: “A Cleveland police officer said it was for an outstanding warrant. Her friend says the warrant is for an alleged assault against a police officer outside Coleman’s foreclosed Cleveland home.”

She’s currently on her way to the hospital with EMS. No reason for the hospital trip or details at this time.



That outstanding warrant seems to be connected to an incident dating back to last year when University Heights police officers say Coleman almost hit officers with her car after she sped off from her former house, which had been foreclosed on. Details from Channel 5’s report from last March:

When police were called to a home in University Heights for a report of an open front door at a vacant house, officers say they witnessed Coleman running to a blue Chevrolet Monte Carlo car parked in the driveway.

According to the police report, Coleman then fled the scene in the car, almost striking the officers.

Two other men were detained at the home.

Court documents show a warrant has been issued for Coleman’s arrest.

Coleman denied the allegations to Newsnet5 and wrote of the incident on her website saying she was “harassed at gun point by five white University Heights policemen.” One, she said, calling her a racial slur.

“I feared for my life that day and still do,” she wrote.

  1. So is she supposed to get a free pass? Is she any different than anyone else with an outstanding warrant? She is supposed to be an adult, she needs to act like one! Handle your business and don’t act like it is a surprise, your insulting your fellow Clevelanders. She is no better or worse than anyone of us, grow up. And for Christ’s sake, report some real news.

  2. This is more of the atrocities that the Idumeans, Malachites, Edomites, and the Horites, Nabatheans (all the same people), and the ROMANS have and are causing against The Most High people of Ysrael punishable by the Most High, in hind sight they display the spoil of their generation then and now, pay attention to the same practice of then and now always white washing or covering up, just like Donald Chumps wife’s speech, she’s not from this country, send her back.Also for a footnote William Shakespeare was a swarthy guy , swarthy means olive colored or dark,do your history. And for the Bluecoats, all you see being shot down by white cops are the Ysrsealites, not Moab(chinese),not Amom(japanese),not Hemites(Africans),not Elam(Indians) and so forth all Ysrealites(the real Jews, but you worry about a old warrant lol, get to the real matters at hand
