JOHNSON CITY — On Sept. 29, officers with the Johnson City Police Department (JCPD) arrested Tupac Shakur, 45, of Johnson City, and charged him with aggravated assault and resisting arrest.

Around 12:30 a.m., JCPD officers responded to a domestic disturbance at the victim’s residence. The victim reported that Shakur had strangled her, hit her, and chased her with a knife. When officers arrived, Shakur brandished a knife at them and refused to comply with their commands.

After a brief standoff, Shakur was taken into custody and transported to the Washington County Detention Center.
