A Columbia man charged with assaulting a Jasper police officer says he does not intend to hire an attorney and he does not want a public defender.
Jasper County Circuit Court online documents indicate that despite his lack of cooperation, a hearing has been scheduled for 9 a.m. January 3 to determine if Brandon Lucky David (DOB 1978) should be put in the "pretrial release program."
David is currently in the Jasper County Jail on a $50,000 cash-only bond, charged with first degree assault of a special victim.
David and his girlfriend, Raven Cheyenne Gomez (DOB 1996), Columbia, allegedly assaulted a Jasper police officer when she responded to a report of an argument between the two at Pete's Convenience Store October 16.
As the officer conducted a search, she was punched by Gomez who pushed her to the ground causing her to hit her head on the pavement, according to the probable cause statement.
After that, the officer became disoriented.
David left the car and began punching the officer with a closed fist several times in the head and upper body area, the statement said.
David climbed into the patrol car as if he planned to steal it, but apparently was unable to figure out how to use the different gear shift, according to the statement.
As that was happening, Gomez returned to her car, backed up and ran over the officer's foot, then ran over it again when she drove the car forward. David left the patrol car and got back into Gomez' vehicle, the court document said.
The officer sustained numerous bruises to the face, neck and body, a sprained foot and a softball-size hematoma in the back of the head, but has since returned to duty.
David and Gomez took off, but were captured in Allen County, Kansas. While in the Allen County Jail, Gomez allegedly attacked and attempted to murder another inmate October 24, so no hearings in her case have been held in Jasper County at this point.

It happened in Jasper County. It should surprise no one he is being released without bond. Easiest Judges in Missouri
This is ridiculous, not only did they put an officer in great danger but anyone in their path at that gas station an in their path!! He needs to be sentenced not released!
he does not intend to hire an attorney and he does not want a public defender
Jasper County is apparently like Burger King.
AAAT BK HAAAVE IT YOUR WAY 🍔🍔🍔 YOU RULE!!!
So let's just ask the defendant if he wants to get out of jail so he can do it again.
He should be charged with attempted murder of a Leo. 15 year minimum. Death sentence should be appropriate for anyone killing a Leo. We are way too lenient on criminals.
Jasper county is soft on crime, look at all the repeat offenders, Judges Prosecutors do your damn job, or get a different one, we don’t need anymore useless people on the payroll
Hmmm ... one of those Pro Se folks. Sounds like a sov cit to me. I'm smarter than you and your rules don't apply to me garbage.
Pretrial release has its place. Nonviolent, a work plan, a safe place to stay, ankle monitor, I’m ok with that. This guy doesn’t fit any of those. He belongs in jail, not just to make sure he shows up for court, but to keep society safe.
Does he have any sort of history with the justice system before he allegedly attacked this police officer?
Not that that would matter much in Jasper County!
This is why we have to Elect Politicians, Judges, Prosecuting Attorneys, and appoint Jurors - Who are Tough on Crime and Criminals - - Stop this Ridiculous Crap - and Sentence these Criminals to the Longest Sentences that we can - - Most Criminals - CANNOT BE Rehabilitated - Yet our Liberal Society - Keeps wanting to give these Criminals - Three, Four, Five or More Chances to Reform - - Wake Up - - If we let them out Early - You will end up Being their Next Victim...
Stop Feeling Sorry for the Criminals and Start Feeling Sorry for their Victims...
sounds like he may get Lucky
