Incident Summary
Officers were dispatched to assist the Fire Department at the above location. When officers arrived the subject's
asked them for assistance. When officers contacted subject he reached into his waistband, threw and object away from
them, and would not comply with their orders. Officer R. Paul stuck subject in arm with flashlight, Officer A. Trujillo
deployed ECD, and Officer J. Rodriguez applied carotid restraint. Officers were able to handcuff the subject.
Paramedics transported the subject to Lakewood Regional Medical Center for medical reasons. I contacted the subject

supplemental report for visible injuries. I was not able to locate any video of the incident. Officers A. Mercado and E.
Betancourt spoke to witnesses, and conducted knock and talks.
Based on the officer and witness statements the force used was appropriate, justified and within departmental policy.

Comments/Response From [Commander Robert Luman ]
After reviewing this incident the force used appears reasonable and within policy. The
circumstances surrounding the application of the carotid restraint were explaining as an escalation
in light of ineffective lesser control options. Also noted was the space the officer had to work
within.
