Batavia Ohio October 7 2019
A Milford man was sentenced Thursday to a year in prison after he pleaded guilty to punching a security guard in the face at the Batavia Social Security office, according to a press release from the Department of Justice.
Daniel Toops, 35, went to the office located at 1050 Hospital Drive in Batavia on April 11. According to the release, Toops was “dissatisfied” with the information one of the Social Security officials provided and began to leave the building saying, “F*** you, mother f***er. I’ll come back and f*** you mother f****ers up.”
One of the facility’s security guards approached Toops on his way out, according to court records. The guard told Toops he “cannot make threats like that.”
Toops responded with, “F*** you, b****. I’ll say whatever I want,” according to court documents.
The guard then grabbed Toops’ hoodie and told him to drop his backpack, court documents state. Toops refused.
The altercation continued and Toops eventually punched the security guard under the left side of her jaw, according to the documents.
Toops also refused the guard’s orders to turn around, put his hands behind his back and get on the ground. According to court documents, the guard then sprayed Toops with mace and hit him in the leg with her baton.
Toops left the building and was later arrested at a nearby restaurant, court records state.
Toops will be released from prison with supervision after one year.
