SAGINAW TWP, MI -- The man fatally shot by police last week was trying to gouge an officer's eyes out, according to a report from the Saginaw County Prosecutor's Office.

The prosecutor's office also said that the police officer who was shot during the incident was struck by a bullet from the arresting officer's gun.

Farhad "Fred" Jabbari, 38, was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 19, and placed in handcuffs in the back of a police vehicle.

According to a statement from the prosecutor's office:

"...review of the witness statements and other available evidence at this time, shows that the officer conducted field sobriety tests and a preliminary breath test, and it appears that the suspect was highly intoxicated, then arrested the suspect for drunk driving. After the officer placed the suspect in the back seat of his patrol vehicle, the officer noticed that the suspect was tampering with his handcuffs, freeing one hand from restraint.

The officer exited his vehicle and then opened the rear door to again restrain him. At that time the suspect immediately attacked the officer, including gouging at the officer's eyes. A struggle then ensued in the rear of the police vehicle.

A second officer also was on scene and immediately attempted to assist his fellow officer in restraining the suspect. Only 2-3 seconds after opening the passenger door of the police vehicle several shots were fired and the second officer was struck, as was the suspect.

During that struggle, the arresting officer shot the suspect multiple times, resulting in his death. One of the bullets fired by the arresting officer struck the second officer in the upper arm. The entire struggle and shooting was very quick and lasted only seconds, as verified by witness statements and confirmed by video and audio preserved by the (Michigan State Police) detectives."

The name of the officer who fired the fatal shot is being withheld as well as the name of the officer who was shot.

It's not the first time Jabbari has had a violent confrontation with police.

Jabbari had previously been on probation for domestic violence and was involved in a violent confrontation with an officer last year, according to a police report Mlive-The Saginaw News got through a Freedom of Information Act request.

A charge of resisting and obstructing a police officer was dropped and Jabbari pled guilty to the domestic violence charge, served a year of probation on a delayed sentence and his record was wiped clean July 11 of this year.

Jabbari's friend of 15 years, Tim Morningstar, said that he did not know about the incident in 2016.

"I'm shocked and appalled," Morningstar said. "I still believe he was suffering. He was suffering from something."

Prosecutors will review Jabbari's shooting death further when the investigation has been completed. An autopsy has been conducted and investigators are awaiting a final autopsy report and toxicology reports.
