Man who kneeled on baby’s neck declaring ‘BLM now’ has been arrested

The man has been identified as 20-year-old, Isaiah Jackson, who was arrested on Tuesday "on a probation violation" and is currently sitting in Clark County Jail.

The disturbing image shows Jackson without a shirt kneeling on the neck of a small child in a diaper with someone offscreen holding the child's hands behind his back.

“The county prosecutor’s office is reviewing the case involving the photo, which resembles the action taken by Minneapolis police officers in the Memorial Day arrest of George Floyd,” the Daily Wire reported.

A statement put out by the Clark County Sheriff's Office on Facebook said that the captioned language "indicated that the image was related to ongoing racially-oriented protests and other activity taking place in various cities around the nation.”

The Daily Wire added that the sheriff's office “is awaiting the Office of the County Prosecutor to provide a determination on the scope and breadth of the felony charges that will be supported by that office for presentation in court.”

The child's grandmother, Chasity Sowers, told News Center 7's Monica Castro that Jackson is a new boyfriend "of the ex-girlfriend of the baby's father," adding that she initially saw the photo online but scrolled through it too quickly to notice who the child was.

“She hates seeing photos of child abuse, so she scrolled past it,” Castro reported. “She did not realize it was her grandson, until her daughter told her about it … She says she doesn’t understand why an adult man would do something like that to a young child.”

The mother of the small child shared with the authorities that "she was unaware of the photo having been taken, or its contents, until she had been informed by other parties while the Sheriff’s Office was en-route to her home to begin the investigation into this incident,” the Daily Wire reported.

“The Investigations Bureau of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office has prepared the case against the male subject shown in the photo, Isaiah Jackson, 20, and is awaiting the Office of the County Prosecutor to provide a determination on the scope and breadth of the felony charges that will be supported by that office for presentation in court,” the statement noted.
