Second man accused of retaliating against co-defendant

Bowling Green Police arrested Tyrell Whitney, 21, 231 Glen Lilly Road this morning after another man, Cody Snider told police Whitney and Tyrikus D. Boyd, 21, 320 W. 12th Ave.,  assaulted him in the parking lot behind Prince Hookah Lounge last month.

Boyd was arrested Tuesday.

All three men are co-defendants along with several other people in an investigation into the theft and receipt of firearms.

Snider, 20, told police Boyd and Whitney assaulted him, according to arrest citations on both men.

Snider said Whitney called him a “snitch” and hit him on the back of the head multiple times at about 9 p.m. June 2, according to the citations. After Snider was knocked to the ground, he said Boyd hit him at least twice on the head.

Boyd is aware of statements Snider made implicating he and Whitney in the purchase of stolen firearms which led in part to the indictments against Boyd, Whitney and others, according to Boyd’s arrest citation.

Police found Boyd at his home and he denied the assault, according to his citation. Whitney also denied the allegation when he was arrested today.

Both men are charged with retaliating against a participant in a legal process and both are being held in the Warren County Regional Jail.
