Narrative
On 06/03/2015 I Officer P.Lyon #5889 was working as unit 1A34. I assisted Long Beach Police units who were
dispatched to a unknown trouble call, located at Pacific Avenue apartment , call # 1922.
The call stated that someone was possibly breaking into apartment and someone was yelling for someone to
call the police.
Units 3C82 Officer's J.Calvert #6136 and Officer C.Luther #10655, and 1A32 Officer K.Chang #5508 arrived on
scene and contacted a male Hispanic subject, later identified as SUSPECT Johnny Lagunas. During their contact
with SUSPECT Lagunas a Use Of Force occurred, for further see Unit 3C82 and 1A32 follow up reports.
Upon arrival I contacted a male occupant at Pacific Avenue # he was identified as VICTIM . I
could see that VICTIM was bleeding on the left ring finger from a laceration. I asked VICTIM if he
needed medical attention. He refused, however Long Beach Fire Department personnel were on scene treating
SUSPECT Lagunas. I asked them to treat VICTIM as well. They wrapped VICTIM left hand,
and advised him to receive stitches at a later time.
While VICITM was being treated I could see that the apartment was ransacked. There were two large
glass tables that were broken and glass on the floor, as well as blood drops. There was a large flat screen T.V. on
the floor in the living room that looked damaged.
I asked VICITM what happened and he told me the following; he stated he has known SUSPECT
Lagunas for approximately 3 weeks. They are not in a dating relationship however they have, "messed around"
sexually. Tonight SUSPECT Lagunas came to his apartment to have some drinks and dinner. While at the
apartment, they each drank about 2 beers. However he believes that SUSPECT Lagunas was under the
influence of Methamphetamine. SUSPECT Lagunas began to act "weird" according to VICTIM

Narrative
SUSPECT Lagunas began to talk about a person named "Pelon" and told VICITM that "he knows
everything". VICTIM does not know a "Pelon"and believes that SUSPECT Lagunas was hallucinating or
crazy.
SUSPECT Lagunas began to throw items all over the apartment, breaking both the living room and dinning room
glass tables. SUSPECT Lagunas also picked up the Sharp 52" flat screen television that was on a television
stand and threw it to the ground. VICTIM was scared he was going to get hurt so he ran for the door.
VICTIM slipped and fell to the ground causing the cut to his hand. He then ran outside and yelled for
someone to call for the police. VICTIM stated he did not see the Use Of Force.
VICITM desires prosecution for the damage done to his tables and television. He read and signed a
private persons arrest form. He was given a report receipt.

Narrative
I (Officer Chang, K #5508) was working in a marked black and white police vehicle. I was dispatched to a person
screaming call at Pacific . I was advised that the calling party was calling for a neighbor who stated that
someone just broke into his residence. The suspect was described as a male Hispanic, 30's, wearing a gray shirt
and yellow boots. I was then advised by another calling party that they heard glass breaking but they did not
know what was going on. I was advised that the suspect was a male, White, wearing a gray long sleeve shirt, and
shorts. I then advised that the suspect ran back into the residence.
Upon arrival I was advised that the suspect was now outside sitting on the stairs. I parked my marked black and
white police vehicle about 2 residents south of Pacific. As I approached Pacific walking north bound, I
saw the defendant later identified as Johnny Lagunas standing on the sidewalk one resident south of Pacific.
The defendant was wearing a gray long sleeve shirt but was pointing north bound towards several people sitting
on the steps of Pacific. There was a male and female Hispanic sitting on the steps. I asked the defendant,
"What's going on?".
The defendant just mumbled something that I could not understand. The defendant stepped away from me,
started to jump up and down, pointing north bound to the male and female Hispanic sitting on the stairs. I stepped
towards the defendant and asked him, "Who?". The defendant again mumbled. I could not understand him as
he pointed.
I was assisted by Officers Calvert, J #6136 and Sauter-Luther, C #10655 who were walking south bound towards
the defendant. The defendant did not answer my questions and was starting to move away from me towards the
male and female Hispanic. I could see the male and female Hispanic just kept sitting on the stairs. I thought the

Narrative
defendant was not a calling party but was the suspect of the unknown trouble call.
I told the defendant to stop and he did not. I did not want the defendant to approach anyone. I started to reach
out towards the defendant and he immediately stopped jumping up and down. I saw the defendant lower his
weight over both of his feet in a modified fighting stance. I touched the defendant's left elbow and he immediately
tightened up his left arm.
The defendant closed both his fists and he took a large step backwards. The defendant pulled his right arm back
looking right at me. The defendant turned, looked at Officer Calvert and swung his right closed fist at Officer
Calvert. I saw the defendant strike Officer Calvert on the left side of his face. I saw the defendant then step in
towards Officer Calvert and wrap both of his arms around Officer Calvert's chest.
The defendant pushed Officer Calvert backwards forcing Officer Calvert to drop his police baton and flashlight.
The defendant pushed Officer Calvert back so hard that they fell backwards over the hood of a parked black
Toyota California license plate 5RKB434. I saw the defendant holding Officer Calvert down on top of the black
vehicle. I approached and immediately deployed my Electronic Control Device from approximately 3 feet from the
defendant's back.
I saw that two prongs had contact with the defendant approximately 12 to 18 inches apart. I saw that my
Electronic Control Device had no effect on the defendant's actions. The defendant kept holding Officer Calvert
down against the vehicle. I heard Officer Calvert say, "Help get this guy off of me.". I continually engaged my
Electronic Control Device my pressing on the trigger for approximately 10 to 15 seconds with no affect.
I thought that the defendant may have injured Officer Calvert and was still holding him down on the hood on of the
black vehicle. I saw Officer Luther use his Electronic Control Device on the defendant. This also had no effect. I
dropped my Electronic Control Device and encircled the defendant's neck with my left arm. I started to pull the
defendant off of Officer Calvert and at the same time I could feel Officer Calvert pushing the defendant off of
himself. The defendant fell into the street in front of the black Toyota onto his stomach. My left arm was under
the defendant when we fell. I told the defendant to "stop resisting".
The defendant tried to push himself up even as Officers held him down. The defendant then tried to turn his body
away from me as I laid on his right side and I could feel my left arm getting scraped against the street. I felt
Officer Calvert holding onto the lower portion of the defendant. I told the defendant "You're under arrest." but he
kept fighting rubbing my left arm against the street. I applied the carotid restraint on the defendant. The
defendant kept fighting. I saw Officer Luther try to gain control of the defendant's left arm. The defendant pulled
away from Officer Luther.
I kept applying the carotid restraint with no effect. I could still feel the defendant trying to pull away from Officers.
I applied the chancery enhancement to the carotid restraint and rendered the defendant unconscious. Officer
Calvert handcuffed the defendant's left arm and Officer Dumaplin, N #5234 handcuffed the defendant's right hand.
Officer Luther turned the defendant over onto his right side. After approximately 5-9 seconds I heard the
defendant take 2 very deep breaths. After the defendant exhaled his second breath the defendant immediately
began to resist again. The defendant tried to sit up then he began to kick his feet. I heard an Officer speaking
Spanish to the defendant. The defendant ignored the Spanish speaking Officer and kept resisting. Officer Luther
used the hobble restrain to restrain the defendant.
The defendant continued to struggle with Officers even with the hobble restrain applied. Long Beach Fire was
called to medically evaluate the defendant. The defendant struggled with Officers the entire time. Long Beach
Fire Rescue 13 responded and treated the defendant. The defendant even struggled with the Long Beach Fire
who was there to treat him. Rescue 13 transported the defendant to Memorial Hospital where he was treated by
Dr .
The defendant was so uncooperative that he refused to answer any questions. The defendant did not have any
wallet or identification on him at the time of arrest. Officer Lyon used department resources to identify the
defendant. At Memorial Hospital the defendant was uncooperative with hospital staff.
Sgt Hall was notified of the use of force. Lt Berkencamp was notified of the use of force.

Narrative
*Use Of Force*
On 6/4/15 at approximately 2330 hours, my partner (Officer J. Calvert #6136) and I (Officer C. Luther #10655)
assisted Unit-1A32, Officer K. Chang #5508, with an unknown trouble call at Pacific Avenue (Call
#1922).
Upon arrival, I saw Officer Chang's vehicle on the east side of the street and I parked in front of the dispatched
location.
As I was exiting my patrol vehicle, I saw Officer Chang contacting a Hispanic male subject (later identified as
Defendant Johnny Lagunas) who was walking northbound away from Officer Chang. Officer Chang attempted to
gain control of the subject from a position of advantage to the left and behind Lagunas. Lagunas became
combative and pulled his arm away from Officer Chang.
I heard Officer Calvert yell something and I ran southbound towards Lagunas. Officer Calvert and I contacted
Lagunas at approximately the same time. Lagunas turned towards Officer Calvert with a balled fist and his arm
back in a punching stance. I believed that Lagunas was going to try and punch someone with his right fist. I
attempted to grab Lagunas' right arm as he swung his right fist towards Officer Calvert but was unsuccessful.
Lagunas wrapped his arms around Officer Calvert's torso and pushed him backwards. Both Officer Calvert and
Lagunas fell towards a parked car (black Toyota License #5RKB434) along the east side of Pacific Avenue in front
of the dispatched location. Officer Calvert landed on his back while Lagunas was on top of him.
I attempted to grab Lagunas right arm and pull him away from Officer Calvert but was unable to.
Officer Calvert and Lagunas rolled off the hood of the car and Lagunas' arms were still wrapped around Officer
Calvert. Officer Calvert was on the ground with his back towards the front bumper of the vehicle.
I saw that Lagunas' right arm was free and attempted to grab it and apply a control hold. Before I was able to, I
heard Officer Chang yelling, "Taser!" Officer Chang then deployed his Electronic Control Device to Lagunas'
upper back.
I saw the spread on the Electronic Control Device prongs and believed it was very minimal. It did not appear to be
affecting Lagunas. I then pulled my Electronic Control Device from the holster and deployed it to Lagunas' lower
right back to create a larger spread and to incapacitate him.

Narrative
After deploying the Electronic Control Device, Lagunas appeared to tense up and stop fighting with Officer
Calvert.
Officer Chang appeared to lose control of his Electronic Control Device and it fell to the ground. Officer Chang
then applied a Carotid Restraint to Lagunas. Officer Chang leaned back in an attempt to pull Lagunas off of
Officer Calvert and roll him facedown onto the ground while applying the Carotid Restraint.
Officer Chang continued to apply the Carotid Restraint and Officer Calvert placed his knees on Lagunas' right hip.
Lagunas continued to thrash, kick, and refused to comply with our lawful orders to put his hands behind his back. I
then pulled the trigger on my Electronic Control Device to reapply and incapacitate Lagunas and prevent him
from moving. I cycled my Electronic Control Device a total of two times on Lagunas.
I placed my right knee on Lagunas' left hip and grabbed his left arm and pulled it behind his back and applied a
lower wristlock to control his movement. I then applied a handcuff to Lagunas' left wrist.
I held the handcuff with my left hand while Officer Calvert brought Lagunas' right arm behind his back. Officer N.
Dumaplin #5234 handcuffed Lagunas right arm.
Officer Chang and Officer Calvert stepped away and I rolled Lagunas onto his right side in the recovery position. I
could hear the subject breathing heavily and his chest was visibly rising and falling. Lagunas was bleeding from
his nose.
While I was holding Lagunas on his side, he regained consciousness and began thrashing and kicking. Lagunas
continued to kick and I was unable to control him. I rolled Lagunas back onto his stomach and put my knee across
his thighs so I could apply a hobble restraint to his ankles to control his movements and prevent him from kicking
assisting Officers.
Officer Calvert advised dispatch of the use of force and requested medical attention for Lagunas.

Narrative
*** USE OF FORCE ***
On 6/3/2015 at approximately 2330 hours, my partner (Officer C. Luther #10655) and I (Officer J. Calvert #6136)
assisted unit 1A32 (Officer K. Chang #5508) who was enroute to a unknown trouble call at Pacific Ave .
Call #1922.
The calling party stated that someone had broken into apartment , and someone could be heard in the
background yelling to call the police. The calling party additionally stated that his neighbor had come over and
asked him to call the police, reporting that someone had broken into his house. That person (later identified as
Defendant Legunas) was described as a male Hispanic in his 30's, wearing a ripped gray shirt, shorts, and yellow
boots. The Defendant was also reported to be drunk or on drugs. The calling party was able to hear banging and
the sound of broken glass.
Upon arrival at approximately 2333 hours we observed unit 1A32 (Officer Chang) exiting his patrol vehicle and
contacting the Defendant who was walking out towards the sidewalk area. As I exited our patrol vehicle I saw that
the Defendant exhibited some common signs and symptoms of intoxication/alteration (unsteady gait, appearance
of disorientation, appearance of an aggravated demeanor). Based on my observations and the information
provided in the call I formed the belief that the Defendant was the individual described in the call who may have
just broken into apartment . At that time I became concerned for the safety and well being of the resident(s) in
apartment , as well as for Officer Chang's safety, my partner's, and that of my own.
I observed Officer Chang attempt to detain the Defendant out on the sidewalk. As Officer Chang attempted to
take control of the Defendant's left arm, the Defendant immediately pulled his arm away and dropped his weight
and center of gravity into a fighting stance. The Defendant's face appeared to be very hostile, and his body
language was aggressive. I stepped to within a distance of less than 10 feet in front of the Defendant as he pulled
away from Officer Chang and attempted to give him verbal commands to not resist. However before I was able
to speak to the Defendant he darted forward and punched me in the left side of my face with a closed right fist. I
was able to anticipate this punch and step off of his line of attack (to my right), and as a result his punch
connected with my head as a glance off the left side of my cheek. As I stepped off the line of his attack I drew my
Streamlight SL20 flashlight (which is a department approved impact weapon) and struck the Defendant on his left
upper thigh area. As my flashlight strike landed I could feel instant sharp pain in my right hand and wrist area,
causing me to drop my flashlight to the ground.
The Defendant then charged forward and attempted to tackle me onto the parkway. I was able to avoid being
taken down by walking backwards towards Pacific Ave. It became my concern that the Defendant was attempting

to push me into the street where I might be killed by passing traffic. I then reversed the Defendant's attempted
take down by grabbing him in a bear hug and spinning us 180 degrees. I then used the Defendant's momentum
against him and applied downward bodily force whereupon we fell onto the hood of a parked vehicle on Pacific
Ave. As we fell to the hood of the vehicle my right wrist became pinned beneath both of our bodies, and the
impact with the hood of the vehicle caused me to further sharp pain to my hand and wrist. At this time both the
Defendant and I were locked in a mutual bear hug we me on top and his back against the hood of the car. For a
few seconds I maintained this grip as it prevented the Defendant from punching me again. The Defendant
demonstrated great strength and resolve, and did not appear to be phased or effected by the first body slam. I
then rolled us off the hood of the car and into the gutter area of Pacific Ave where I came to a rest with my back
against the front bumper of the car we had just been on, and the Defendant down on his knees but still in my bear
hug.
At that time I began giving the Defendant clear orders to stop fighting us. Moments later I heard the "pop" of an
Electronic Control Device (ECD) being deployed, and the subsequent sound of the device cycling. This seemed
to have almost no effect on the Defendant who continued to grapple with me in the roadway. I feared that if I were
to release the hold I currently had on him, he would punch me again or attempt to attack either Officer Chang or
Luther. I also feared the possibility of being overpowered and pushed out into traffic on Pacific Ave if the
Defendant was not quickly overcome and taken into custody.
I then saw that Officer Luther was now standing in the road just behind the Defendant. I directed Officer Luther to
use his ECD to help me overcome the Defendant's resistance.Any other force option (specifically including the
use of impact weapons) were essentially impractical. Officer Luther then deployed his ECD. For further refer to
Officer Luther's supplemental report.
Officer Chang and I then used bodily force to roll the Defendant off of me and face-down onto the pavement.
Officer Chang then attempted to perform a carotid restraint of the Defendant. As Officer Chang attempted this I
saw that there was an ECD with its probes already discharged and wires hanging out lying in the road to my left. I
believed that this was the first ECD used on the Defendant. I then picked it up and gave the Defendant several
clear commands to stop fighting us.
Because the Defendant was still actively fighting us I activated the ECD for a 5 second cycle, but to no apparent
effect. I then utilized the ECD in a drive stun manner and delivered another 5-second cycle by making contact
with the ECD to the Defendant's left upper back area. This second cycle appeared to have some effect on the
Defendant, but it did not result in his voluntary compliance. At that time I determined that the Defendant was
nearly impervious to all less lethal options available to us. I then used my police radio to ask for units to assist us
Code-3.
I then formed the opinion that Officer Chang's attempted carotid restraint was our best current force option to
overcome the Defendant's violent resistance, and allow us to place him in handcuffs. I then delivered two
additional 10-second cycles to the Defendant's upper left back area in order to diminish the Defendant's ability to
resist Officer Chang's carotid restraint hold.
After this last cycle it appeared that the Defendant was now no longer resisting us with the same strength that he
previously had been. I then saw that I saw that Officer Luther had managed to take hold of the Defendant's left
arm, and was placing handcuffs on that arm. I ceased utilizing the ECD and focused on taking the Defendant into
custody. Officer Chang then released his carotid control hold, and I assisted him in pulling the Defendant's right
arm from under his stomach. At that time I stood up and gave Officer Luther room to finish handcuffing the
Defendant. I then used my police radio advise that we were Code-4, and also requested medics to respond to
treat the Defendant due to the ECD and carotid restraint. During this time the Defendant was placed in a recovery
position and monitored by Officer Luther. Within a few seconds the Defendant began to kick again, and Officer
Luther applied a hobble restraint to his ankles.
LBFD Rescue 13 arrived, and subsequently transported the now fully conscious Defendant to Long Beach
Memorial Medical Center.
At the conclusion of this incident I felt sharp pain and swelling to my right wrist and hand area, and also sharp
pain, tightness, and lack of mobility to my neck. I was directed by responding Sgt. S. Hall #5933 to seek medical
