The criminal complaint charging the hotel workers offers a detailed account of the last moments of Mitchell's life based on Hyatt surveillance footage, witness accounts and a bystander's video. Williamson told investigators he put his knee on the middle of Mitchell's back, adding that Mitchell was strong, wouldn't calm down and tried to bite Erickson. Johnson-Carson told a detective that he saw Turner fighting with Mitchell and Mitchell didn't appear to be stable mentally because he was speaking “gibberish," the complaint said.
