A 21-page Arizona State University police report and surveillance video obtained by 12News reveal what happened before and after a Turning Point USA video crew confronted an LGBT instructor on campus last October.
The confrontation ended with the instructor, David Boyles, allegedly being shoved to the ground. Police interviews and video show the Turning Point crew ran away from the scene.
The incident on the Tempe campus capped a year of tensions between one of the country's largest universities and a Republican advocacy organization in its own backyard.
12News obtained the documents and video through a public records request.
Here's are seven takeaways:
The charges
Kalen D'Almeida, 31, the Turning Point reporter who fired questions at instructor David Boyles has been charged with misdemeanor counts of assault, harassment and disorderly conduct.
The Turning Point videographer and producer, 22-year-old Braden Joel Ellis, has been charged with misdemeanor harassment.
Ellis told police he wanted to see Boyles prosecuted.
Police declined to recommend charges against Boyles.
"It was determined (his intention) to block the camera did not meet the culpable mental state for assault," the police report says.
Why instructor was targeted
Boyles is a queer writing instructor on ASU's Tempe campus and founder of the Drag Story Hour.
According to the police report, D'Almeida said Boyles was targeted because he was on Turning Point's "Professor Watchlist."
They "received a tip about what topics (Boyles) was teaching," D'Almeida said.
"Anyone from anywhere" can provide those tips, he said.
More than 40 ASU faculty members, including Boyles, are currently listed on the Turning Point watchlist.
The police report notes that when a detective checked the watch list on Oct. 26, two weeks after the confrontation, Boyles' name "had been removed from the list."
Six months before the campus confrontation, ASU President Michael Crow asked Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk to remove the university's faculty from its "Professor Watch List." Faculty members had reported being harassed.
Kirk rejected Crow's request. "I just was like, 'Forget it. This is so stupid,'" Kirk said on his podcast.
The campus confrontation
D'Almeida peppered Boyles with questions about his sexuality during a 96-second video that Turning Point posted on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, on Oct. 12.
Ellis told police that at one point "Kalen's respectful, peaceful, normal confrontation, normal questioning" touched on a topic that upset Boyles.
In the Turning Point video, Boyles appears to lunge at Ellis, Then the video cuts out.
ASU security video shows the rest of what happened: Boyles appears to lunge, then D'Almeida pushes him to the concrete plaza.
The 911 call
A witness who called 911 rushed to help Boyles.
"I followed them and then they knocked him to the ground, and now he has injuries," the witness, whose identity is concealed, told the 911 operator.
Boyles had injuries to "his face and was bleeding," according to police.
According to the police report, Boyles "grabs the camera" and was "shoved to the ground by the bearded male."
Boyles told police that after he hit the ground, the two men "yelled things like 'That's what you get'" and "You caused this."
The woman who dialed 911 told police she heard D'Almeida say, "That's what you get for putting your hands on me."
Boyles' account: 'Never made contact'
Boyles told the 911 operator he had an idea who the two men were with.
"I've been attacked and harassed by some of these right-wing groups recently for my LGBT advocacy," Boyles said.
He told police he was "trying deliberately" not to make contact with the videographer when he raised his hand to block the camera.
"I just kind of put my hand up," Boyles said. "I remember that clearly. I never made contact with him."
Boyles was told that it appeared he was charging after the cameraman.
When asked what he was feeling, Boyles responded that "he leaned into maybe a lunge because the cameraman was a few feet away."
Turning Point: 'Swinging at cameraman'
D'Almeida offered these accounts of what happened on the plaza near the Fulton garage.
-"From my perspective he's running at my cameraman" and "swinging at my cameraman and grabs him."
-D'Almeida said he "pushed" Boyles and was "surprised" he fell, because he didn't believe he "pushed him that hard."
Ellis told police he was "grabbed" on his right wrist. which caused a "dribble" of blood on his right thumb. Images of Ellis' hands that accompany the police report show no obvious signs of injury.
The Aftermath
Multiple security cameras captured the aftermath.
For a brief time, D'Almeida and Ellis walked with Boyles and the witness. The witness said the two men broke off when she called 911.
"They quickly pick up the pace... entering the parking structure ... at a high rate of speed," according to the police narrative.
When Ellis was asked about security camera footage showing him and D'Almeida running away, Ellis responded: "I was directed by Kalen to head to my car."
When asked why he ran after the incident, D'Almeida said: "Honestly, (Ellis) ran so I kind of ran."
He added that he "wasn't thinking and was still in shock that this happened.... I don't have any violent bones in my body."
Ellis said he and D'Almeida drove to "our company" where they had a meeting with "our bosses" to "get on top of the incident."
Response from lawyer
Kurt Altman, the attorney for the Turning Point employees, responded to 12News' request for comment on the police report:
"Interesting the media can get the videos when the defense can't, even though disclosure is required and we've requested them.
"Regardless, my clients did nothing wrong. We look forward to our day in court and are confident the video evidence clearly demonstrates the professor was the physical aggressor."
