Incident Summary
Unit K4 while on patrol observed the suspect assaulting a female numerous times at the location.
Officer Moscoso took the suspect's left hand which was already behind his back, in a rear wrist lock and placed in in a
prone position for handcuffing, no other force was used.
The suspect suffered a chip tooth as a result of being placed in a prone position, no injuries to the officers.
Officer Reyes #10005, photographed the scene, officers and the suspect. I searched the area for video surveillance and
none were located.
I interviewed the suspect in booking at 400 W. Broadway. The suspect was advised of his Miranda Rights per PD form
1000.008, by Officer Reyes who also translated Spanish. The suspect he did not understand everything the officers were
saying to him because he does not speak English. The suspect stated he went to his knees on his own and placed his
hands behind his back. The suspect stated he does not know which officer approached him, but he was pushed to the
ground and struck his tooth on the pavement causing a minor chip. The suspect did not require medical attention. The
suspect did not make officers aware of his injury until he was in booking. Officer Reyes was booking the suspect when
he began to bargain that he will not complain if he was released. There was a communication issue due to a language
barrier. The interview was recorded and placed on CD and submitted as evidence.
In my opinion, the force used was reasonable, effective, and within policy.
Internal Affairs Det. Mendoza and Watch Commander Lt. Coble was notified.
