After nearly two months of waiting for our FOIA request to be filled, the police report on Lane Myers’ March 10, 2025, incident where he claimed YouTuber Christopher “Direct D” Ruff shot out the window to his computer room has finally arrived and yielded some surprising results.
The very fact that we received an incident report at all was a surprise to some. Myers livestreamed twice on March 10 into March 11 after the incident. In the first livestream, he showed a pamphlet from the Pima County, Arizona, Sheriff’s Department to the camera featuring a hastily scribbled incident number.
That livestream by Myers had started dramatically with the YouTuber standing outside his house and declaring that there was a helicopter searching the area and armed members of the Pima County Sheriff’s department all around him.
Myers dramatically said that the FBI and the Apache County police were on their way to conduct an early morning raid of Ruff’s property.
A quick look behind Myers showed that there were no helicopters in the sky nor were there any signs of police cars or a visible presence of police in the area.
Myers said that someone had shot through the window in his computer room and that Ruff was the prime suspect in the alleged incident. Katherine Henrichs, Myers’ wife/girlfriend, was observed cleaning up glass that Myers said he had tracked down the hallway when he went to run after the assailant.
Between live streams, Myers’ story changed significantly. Now he claimed he had seen a person who looked exactly like Ruff associate MitChLOVIN peering through his window before the shots were fired.
According to Myers, MitChLOVIN then ran off to a car driven by Ruff associate Jim Freedom. Myers said that the pair were captured by multiple ring doorbell cameras, and a clear photo of the license plate was taken when they stopped at a stop sign after getting lost in the area.
MitChLOVIN, Jim Freedom and Ruff all denied the incident, providing alibis for that night. The promised early morning FBI raid of Ruff’s property didn’t play out. MitChLOVIN would eventually visit Myers’ property, talking with a neighbor about the night in question and confirming that the Pima County Sheriff’s Department had no report about his alleged involvement in the incident.
The police report confirmed that multiple units responded to a report of multiple shots fired at Myers’ house. The first unit on scene said that Myers could not provide them with a description of the vehicle or suspects as he didn’t have his contacts in and couldn’t see clearly.
The police observed the damage to the window but found no shell casings or signs that the window had been shot at. Instead, they found two rocks that had apparently been thrown through the window.
Myers wanted the police to contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation because Henrichs was a “federal attorney” and subject of threats. There’s no indication that the police contacted the FBI.
The police took Myers’ statement and his evidence against Ruff consisted mainly of insults exchanged between Myers and Ruff. No video evidence was provided of the incident. A “suicide note” Myers said he received in the mail was discounted as a “amateur medical/mental health diagnosis.”
Two units went to find Henrichs, who was quickly located and said she had no idea what was going on. She confirmed that Myers had been upset about his conflict with Ruff, but didn’t really know how to describe the situation.
Police essentially stayed on the scene until they were sure that the area was secure.
Henrichs then contacted police three times over the next week to provide more information about the incident.
In the first call, she said that Ruff did not live in the area but had posted a threatening screen shot which featured a reference to her current job. She then provided a copy of the screen shot to the officer and asked for it to be included in the incident report.
The second call from Henrichs essentially was a follow up with more information about messages Ruff had posted about her. She confirmed that Ruff had never directly threatened her. When she asked if she should get a protective order against Ruff, the responding officer told her to do what she felt she needed to do.
Call three essentially saw Henrichs confirm that she had taken out a protective order against Ruff. No other new information was provided.
The incident report is notable as it contained no interviews with witnesses other than Myers and Henrichs. No neighbors were contacted or interviewed, despite Myers’ claims that neighbors had contacted him with details of what their Ring camera footage had captured that evening.
No security footage was provided by Myers of the incident. Myers himself did not follow up with the police or provide new information following his initial contact. No further attempts were made to contact Myers seeking more information about the incident.
Henrichs’ protective order against Ruff has not been confirmed as of press time.
