Police said they escorted Vela into a police car to protect him from the cold; but that he then refused to cooperate with their investigation of the incident---becoming belligerent and yelling "F~ck you, you b~tch-ass n~ggas! I got you!" He also allegedly yelled gang slogans and punched the air in the direction of police. He was then arrested and placed in a squadrol for transport to the CPD Eighth District Station.
On the way there, Vela allegedly began thrashing about in the back of the wagon, continuing his tirade by hollering "You b~tch-ass n~ggas! I'm gonna sue you! Make that money! You b~tch-ass n~ggas! Stop this car!"
When the squadrol arrived at the station, police said they noticed a new wound on Vela's right shoulder---apparently sustained while thrashing around during the ride. Police then transported Vela to Holy Cross Hospital.
Upon arrival at HCH, according to police, Vela refused to walk---instead throwing himself to the ground and screaming "Police are beating me!" Police used a wheelchair to bring Vela inside---where they said he unleashed a similar stream of obscenities and verbal abuse at emergency-room doctors and nurses as they cleaned and stitched his wounds.
Police then took Vela back to the station, where they said a routine custodial search revealed illegal drug paraphernalia (a pipe) in Vela's clothing. In response, Vela allegedly hollered "What you got? A pipe? B~tch-ass n~ggas! F~ck you!"
