Investigators say Galchenyuk Jr. told one officer, “You understand I will chop all of you [expletive]” before the officer pulled him out of the car. “You know, the [expletive] I’ll call will chop your neck off,” he added. Galchenyuk Jr. was put in the back of a patrol car when he began threatening officers, stating, “I’m gonna chop you, your wife, your daughter,” “You’ll never see your family; how scary is that?” He also threatened to kill officers’ families, police said. “One phone call and you’re all dead, your whole family, your bloodline is dead,” he said. “Your friends are going to get murdered; you know that [expletive].”
Galchenyuk continued the threats, claiming he would call his connections in Moscow, Russia, to have an officer’s wife and daughter’s kidney’s cut out, documents state. Galchenyuk then began calling one officer racial slurs several times. He was then taken to jail. While in jail, Galchenyuk Jr. reportedly told the officer he would still “make the phone call” but then laughed and claimed he was joking.
