Grimes #5561) responded to assist officers at address. I was notified that officers had the suspect trapped in the attic. When I first saw the suspect he was trying to escape out of the attic via the vent on the north side of the house which he had kicked out. Officer Montell shot the suspect in the left hand with a 40mm less lethal round, after the suspect refused officers' orders to surrender. Once struck by the 40mm round, the suspect retreated back into the house through the vent. The suspect was bitten by a police K9 in the lower legs. The suspect was taken into custody without further incident. For further see DR# 14-31686 I inspected the suspect's injuries, which were a contusion on his left hand consistent with a 40mm round, and marks on his lower legs consistent with dog bites. I called the WC, LT Zapalski and notified her of the UOF. Photos were taken. The suspect refused answer any questions without a lawyer present. There was no video available. For information on the K9 contact please see K9 SGT Hodge’s UOF report. The suspect was transported to the Lakewood Regional Hospital by LBFD where he was diagnosed with a broken hand. I contacted IA SGT J. Richardson who responded to the hospital. The suspect was treated and released for booking. As a result of my investigation and observations, I concluded that the force used was justified and the suspect’s injuries were consistent with the officer’s statements.
