Two Deputies on routine patrol observed a male subject involved in a verbal altercation with a female subject standing outside an apartment Marin City. As the Deputies were exiting their vehicle to investigate the matter, the male subject picked up a large rock and held it over his head while yelling at the female. The female subject was yelling at the Deputies that she had just been stabbed by the male subject. One of the Deputies drew his CEW, did not turn the device on, and pointed it at the male subject, ordering him to put the rock down. The subject complied with the Deputy’s commands and was taken into custody.

Two Deputies in the San Geronimo Valley were dispatched to a possible trespassing at a private residence. One subject was located hiding in the garage of the house. While interviewing the suspect, he gave a fake name to a Deputy. While attempting to identify him, the subject fled the scene and a foot pursuit ensued. While pursuing the suspect, the Deputy drew his CEW, turned the weapon on, and gave the suspect multiple warnings. After ignoring the warnings, the Deputy fired one air cartridge at the suspect. The deployment did not achieve neuro-muscular incapacitation. After hearing the cartridge discharged in his direction, the suspect surrendered. It was later discovered that the suspect’s true identity had felony warrants for his arrest and he was in possession of methamphetamine.

A Patrol Deputy was dispatched to a suspicious subject in the area of Samuel P. Taylor Park. The Reporting Party added that the subject was yelling obscenities and harassing other park patrons. The Deputy contacted the subject and immediately recognized him from previous contacts. The Deputy knew the subject to be on Adult Probation with a search clause and to be a controlled substance user who is often confrontational with law enforcement. The Deputy suspected that the subject may be under the influence of a controlled substance. During the contact, the suspect became physically resistant to having his person searched. The subject began to flee the scene on foot and a foot pursuit ensued. During the chase the Deputy ordered the subject to stop multiple times and issued multiple warning that he was going to be tased. The subject did not stop and the Deputy fired one cartridge at the suspect. The deployment was ineffective and the subject continued to run. The Deputy reloaded and fired another cartridge at the subject. This deployment was ineffective as well, and the subject was eventually able to flee the area and elude arrest.
