Height Weight PRN Narrative On 5/3/15 at 1540 hours, my partner (Officer A. Garcia #6074) and I (Officer J. Garces #10656) were working as Unit 1B65. We assisted Unit 1B2 (Officer D. Ernest #1B2)on an assist fire call on corner of Santa Fe and Pacific Coast Highway (call #1013). While en route dispatch advised fire was on the southwest corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Santa Fe with a male subject who was being combative. Fire requested units respond code three (with overhead red and blue lights and siren activated). Dispatch then advised per Fire the units could respond regular code. Upon arrival I observed Fire Engine #13, Rescue #13 & a Long Beach Transit Supervisor on scene. I spoke to Fire Personal and they told me, Fire was called out by Long Beach Transit regarding a male White (later identified as ), who was laying on the ground at the Long Beach Transit bus stop on the southwest corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Santa Fe Avenue. He was laying on the floor at the bus bench possibly in violation of 640(D)(4)PC. The subject was being combative with Fire personal prior to Officer arrival. Fire Personal stated they attempted to take vital signs and he told them, "Fuck you!"then mumbled unintelligible words.then verbally began to threaten Fire Personal. That is when Fire Personal asked for a Police Unit to respond with lights and sirens activated. I observed sitting on the bus bench facing west. On my initial observation, I observed was beads of sweat dripping off of head. I observed his hands where clenched. His fingers began to move as if was unable to control them. I observed red drops of what appeared to be blood coming from his right arm.appeared to be highly agitated. He appeared to be unaware of his surroundings. Based on my training and experience, I know these to be the objective symptoms of a subject who is under the influence of a controlled substance (in violation of 11550(A)HS). I believed if was left at the scene, he would was a danger to himself and could end up running into the busy thoroughfare of Pacific Coast Highway or Santa Fe Avenue. His highly agitated state lead me to believe he would be a danger to others. I made contact with the I informed him that Fire Personal wanted to take his vital signs. He mumbled unintelligible words. Upon speaking to him, I observed him to be disoriented and was not responsive to my questions. During our conversation, his mood fluctuated from calm to highly aggited several times. This further supported my suspicion that he was under the influence of a controlled substance. I made my decision that I was going to arrest for being under the influence of a controlled substance. As he sat on the bus bench, I asked him to stand up and place his hands behind his head and interlace his fingers in an attempt to search him incident to arrest. He stood up and placed his hands behind his head but did not interlace his fingers. I asked him for a second time to interlace his fingers behind his head. He passively resisted by not obeying my commands. I grasped his fingers in an attempt to interlace them behind his head. He began actively resisting by tensing his fingers and hands, attempting to slip out of my grip. Officer Garcia grabbed his left arm and placed in a rear wrist lock. I grabbed his right arm and placed him in a rear wrist lock behind his back so we could handcuff him. He then began to move side to side in an attempt to break free from our rear wrist locks. He then broke free from Officer Garcia's rear wrist lock. He again quickly moved side to side causing me to lose my rear wrist lock also. then took approximately three steps forward and turned around with his hands clenched into fists. When he turned around he directed his full attention on me as I was standing directly in front of him, approximately two to three feet away from him. Officer Ernest was standing on left side approximately two to three feet away from him. Officer Ernest warned him not to resist and comply with orders.took a step forward as if he was going to attack me. Officer Ernest wrapped both of his arms around upper shoulder area. This caused to lose his balance and fall onto his stomach on a grassy area just west of the bus stop. Upon losing his balance,suffered a small abrasion to the front of his face near his nose.

While on the ground continued to struggle and resist Officer Ernest.was trying to get up and away from Officer Ernest.began screaming saying, "Get off me!" While Officer Ernest and were on the ground, I observed a silver knife near right side. At this point had his right hand hidden under his stomach, near the knife. I grabbed the knife and threw it towards Fire Personal for safekeeping. I grabbed right arm with my right hand and placed my left knee onto his back at his rib area to prevent him from getting up. At this point, Officer Garcia used both of his hands to grab left hand and place it behind his back so we could handcuff him. Officer Garcia placed the left handcuff on. In an attempt to distract from actively resisting and get his right hand behind his back, I used the knuckle on my middle finger on my left hand placed it onto his rib cage. I applied pressure to his left rib cage. This did not have any effect on him. I pulled his hand out from under his stomach and we were able to place him into handcuffs. Officer Garcia applied the hobble for further see his report. Officer Ernest applied the carotid control hold, for further see his report. was checked out by Fire Personnel and transported to St. Marys.

Ernest #6082) was dispatched to Santa Fe Ave. and Pacific Coast Hwy. regarding an assist fire call. The call stated the fire department was out on a combative patient and requested police assistance. Call #1013. Just prior to arriving I heard over the police radio that unit 1B65 (Officer's A. Garcia #6074 and J. Garces #10656) had arrived on scene. Upon my arrival I observed LBFD Engine and Rescue 13 stopped in the southbound lanes of Santa Fe. Ave. just south of Pacific Coast Hwy. Fire personnel were standing around a male White subject who was seated on the bus bench adjacent to Jack in the Box ( Santa Fe Ave.). As soon as I exited my vehicle I could hear the male White subject screaming and yelling. I was not able to make out what he was saying; however it was loud, continuous and aggressive. I observed Officer Garces take hold of the subject's hands, which were interlaced behind his head. The subject was now screaming at the top of his lungs, not saying anything just screaming. In between the screaming outbursts I could see the subject clench his teeth together while tensing his body up. Due to the subject's violent, aggressive and erratic behavior along with not following simple commands it appeared he was under the influence of a controlled substance and was not able to exercise care for his own safety or the safety of others. Officer Garces advised the subject multiple times to stand up in an attempt to conduct a weapons pat down of the subject so fire personnel could safely render medical aide. As the subject stood up, while still screaming and flexing his muscles, he ripped away from Officer Garces' control. The subject placed his hands down towards his mid section, which had not been searched, and turned towards Officer Garces. Believing the subject was going to launch an attack on Officer Garces, I placed the subject in a Carotid Control Hold with my left arm and took him to the ground. The subject landed on a patch of grass, face down and I landed off to his right side. Once on the ground I was able to maintain the Carotid Control Report Officer 6082/ERNEST,DEREK S Printed At 10/28/2020 09:56 Page 1 of 2 15-26954 Supplement No 0001 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT Narrative Hold. The subject continued to scream and yell and I could feel his body thrashing from side to side and his legs kicking. In an effort to prevent any further assault on Officer's Garcia and Garces I applied the Carotid Control Hold for approximately 15-20 seconds. As soon as I felt the subject stop resisting and yelling I loosened my hold to the point I was no longer applying any pressure and advised Officer Garces to place handcuffs on the subject. Once the handcuffs were on, I released my hold and noticed the subject had been rendered unconscious. I immediately rolled the subject on to his right side and checked for the radial pulse on his left wrist. I felt the pulse and advised fire personnel that the subject had been rendered unconscious. After approximately 5-7 seconds the subject regained consciousness and immediately began thrashing his body from side to side and kicking his legs. Officer Garces was controlling the subject's mid-section and Officer Garcia was controlling the subject's legs while I controlled the subject's upper body. Officer Garcia placed a hobble restraint on the subject's legs. Officer Garces completed searching the subject and then we placed him on his side on the stretcher. The stretcher was then placed in the back of Rescue 13 where fire personnel continued rendering medical aid. Rescue 13 transported the subject to St. Mary Medical Center where Emergency Room personnel treated him. Sgt. R. Alexander #5345 was advised of the use of force and responded to the scene. Watch Commander Lt. A. Assef #5036 was advised of the use of force. It was later determined the subject would be released to St. Mary Medical Center and not booked. Sgt. Alexander was advised of the RNB. See Officer Garcia and Officer Garces' report for further.

The subject was verbally expressing his intent not to comply. Officer Garces had the subjects right arm and I assisted by grabbing the subjects left arm. I placed the left arm in a rear wrist lock behind his back. The subject seemed to be already slightly standing from the bus bench when he violently turned and stood up. The subject then turned back toward us with his hands clenched. Officer Ernest #6082 was able to take the subject to the ground applying a Carotid Control Hold. While the subject was on the ground, I was able to pull his left arm behind his back which Officer Garces was able to handcuff. I took control of the handcuffed left arm while Officer Garces brought the subjects right arm behind his back. I handcuffed the right arm. While on the ground, the subject began to kick with both his legs. I placed my left knee on the subjects right ankle and my right foot on his left ankle. I was in this position to immobilize both legs from kicking and it afforded me balance to maintain control of his kicking legs. I placed a hobble restraint onto the subjects legs. This subject was later transported to St. Mary's Hospital for medical treatment. I requested for a field supervisor to respond. For further, see all supplemental reports.

Cruz #5502 heard over the Long Beach Transit Radio a call for medical assistance at Pacific Coast Highway at Santa Fe. I was later notified that Long Beach Fire Department arrived and called for Police assistance. Upon my arrival, I was asked to interview witnesses of the detention. I contacted Long Beach Fire Department Captain Sell #70836 who told me that he received a call for a man down at PCH and Santa Fe at the bus bench. He told me that as they arrived on scene he contacted the subject that was lying on the ground face down and unresponsive. He told me that he attempted to wake him up and he became agitated. He told me the subject began telling them, "Fuck you" and waving his hands at him as if he was going to hit him in the face. He told me that he created some distance between the subject and himself and called for police assistance. He told me the other fireman kept their distance from the subject until the police arrived. He then explained to me the officers arrived and officer Garces who he described attempted to pat down the subject who was then seated at the bus bench. He further explained the subject was asked to stand for the pat down. The subject began to resist as he stood up and pulled away from officer Garces. He described the subject then coming in an aggressive manner at Officer Ernest #6082 who he described as the bald officer. He explained Officer Ernest tackled the subject and then the subject was handcuffed and placed on the gurney. As the subject was on the gurney he began to spit so they placed a mask on his face. He told me the subject was what they call ALOC (Altered Level of Consciousness). He described the subject as ALOC because the subject appeared to be under the influence of Drugs or Alcohol. The subject was then transported to St. Mary's Medical Center and released to the medical staff. I spoke to Long Beach Ambulance Operator Alex Morton who told me that he received a call for a man down at Pacific Coast highway and Santa Fe. He told me he pulled up to the location and the subject was lying on the ground face down. He said he was not sure if the subject was unconscious or sleeping. He told me they attempted to wake him up and he became agitated and threatened the Captain. He told me they all backed off and Captain Sells called for police assistance. He explained that the subject then was flipping the Captain off and putting his hand in his face. He told me the officers arrived and Officer Garces #10656 attempted to pat down the subject and he pulled away and lunged at another officer. He told me that subject was taken to the ground by officer Ernest #6082 and handcuffed. He told me the subject was then placed on the gurney and placed in the ambulance. The subject began spitting and a mask was placed on his face. He told me the subject was transported to St. Mary's and released to the medical staff. I spoke to Fireman Spander Fieze who told me he received a call for a man down at Pacific Coast Highway and Santa Fe. He told me they arrived and tried to wake the subject up who was laying face down. When he woke up he became aggressive and was pointing his finger in the Captains face and almost hitting him. He told me that the Captain called for police assistance and they stepped back to give the subject room. He explained the police Report Officer 5502/CRUZ,KENNY E Printed At 10/28/2020 09:57 Page 2 of 3 15-26954 Supplement No 0005 LONG BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT Narrative arrived and attempted to pat the subject down. He told me Officer Garces #10656 asked the subject to stand as he had the subjects hands on his head. He told me the subject started cussing and said, I'm going to hurt your face". Spander told me it did not make sense but was clearly a threat to the officers. He then turned toward the officer aggressively and looked as if he was going to fight with the officer. He explained another officer tackled the subject to the ground and the subject was handcuffed and placed in on the gurney. He said the subject was spitting so they placed a mask on his face. The subject was then transported to St. Mary's and released. I spoke to Long Beach Fireman Jason Bowers #70818 who told me that he received a call for a man down at Pacific Coast Highway and Santa Fe. He told me as they contacted the subject who was face down they woke him up and he became agitated and aggressive. He said the subject put his finger in the Fire Captains face and acted like he was going to hit the Fire Captain. He explained the subject was so agitated and threatening the Fire Captain called for police assistance and they backed off until the police arrived. He told me the subject was sitting at the bus bench and an officer was attempting to get the subject to stand and be patted down when he turned and acted like the was going to fight with the officer. He told me another Officer took the subject to the ground and handcuffed him. He told me the officers assisted them by placing him on the gurney where he checked the vitals and a mask was placed on the subject because he was spitting. The subject was transported to St. Mary's Medical Center for treatment and released to the medical staff. Report Officer 5502/CRUZ,KENNY E Printed At 10/28/2020 09:57 Page 3 of 3
