SUMMARY: ON 31, DEC. 99 AT ABOUT 0330 HOURS, THE ADVANCED TASER WAS USED TO
GAIN COMPLIANCE ON ARRESTED SUBJECT. INMATE XXXXX WAS SEEN BY MEDICAL STAFF
FOR A SMALL PUNCTURE WOUND TO HIS RIGHT HAND.
ACTION TAKEN

ON 31, DEC. 99 AT ABOUT 0125 HOURS, XXXXX WAS LODGED IN THE CLACKAMAS
COUNTY JAIL FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT BY MILWAUKEE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
DURING THE INTERVIEW, XXXXX CONTINUOUSLY TOLD OFFICERS AND DEPUTIES
PRESENT HOW TOUGH HE WAS. HE CLAIMED THAT HE WAS A KICK BOXING
CHAMPION AND COULD TAKE ANY OF US. AT ONE POINT XXXXX JUMPED UP, AND
STARTED TO THREATEN THE ARRESTING OFFICER. CLACKAMAS COUNTY DEPUTIES
ZZZZZ AND ZZZZZ RESTRAINED XXXXX AND HANDCUFFED HIM TO THE BENCH.
XXXXX WAS PLACED IN ISOLATION #1 AND TOLD TO RELAX AND JUST GO TO SLEEP.
XXXXX INMATE STARTED TO PRESS THE EMERGENCY ALARM CALL BUTTON. INMATE
WAS TOLD REPEATEDLY TO STOP. INMATE THEN STARTED TO KICK THE DOOR. I
DECIDED TO PLACE HANDCUFFS BACK ON INMATE TO STOP HIS DISRUPTION OF THE
BOOKING AREA.
I HAD DEPUTIES ZZZZZ AND ZZZZZ LINE UP TO THE LEFT WITH RESTRAINTS AND
DEPUTY ZZZZZ OPEN THE DOOR TO THE RIGHT. I STOOD BACK, AND CENTER, WITH
THE M26 ADVANCED TASER.
INMATE WAS CROUCHING ON THE BENCH IN ISOLATION #1, AND STARTED
DEMANDING TO BE FED. I TOLD INMATE TO SIT ON THE FLOOR WITH HIS HANDS OUT
TO HIS SIDE. INMATE MADE NO MOVE TO COMPLY, AND CONTINUED TO MAKE
DEMANDS. I ORDERED INMATE TO SIT ON THE FLOOR WITH HIS HANDS OUT TO HIS
SIDES, OR I WOULD TASER HIM.
DURING THIS TIME I HAD THE LASER SIGHT OF THE M26 ADVANCED TASER AIMED AT
HIS CHEST. I DECIDED DUE TO INMATE'S AGGRESSIVE NATURE AND STATED
COMBATIVE EXPERTISE, TO USE THE M26 ADVANCED TASER TO GAIN HIS
COMPLIANCE.
I FIRED THE M26 ADVANCED TASER AT INMATE, STRIKING HIM IN THE RIGHT LITTLE
FINGER, AND LEFT LEG. INMATE WENT IN TO A PRONE POSITION. I DISCONTINUED
POWER AFTER A FEW SECONDS. I AGAIN ORDERED INMATE TO SIT ON THE FLOOR.
HE REPLIED, "**** YOU" AND MADE NO MOVE TO COMPLY. I RE-ENGAGED THE
POWER, AND HELD IT FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS. INMATE THEN COMPLIED, AND
WAS HAND CUFFED BY DEPUTIES PRESENT.

DUE TO INMATE'S HAND BEING SO CLOSE TO THE TANK DOOR, I PULLED THE TASER
BARB FROM HIS FINGER. THE ONE IN HIS LEG WAS JUST ATTACHED TO HIS PANTS.
I CONTACTED MEDICAL AND HAD NURSE ZZZZZ COME AND CHECK INMATE. SHE
WIPED HIS PUNCTURE AND PUT A BANDAID ON IT. SHE TOLD ME HE WAS O.K. I HAD
THE RESTRAINTS REMOVED AT 0455 WITHOUT INCIDENT.
STATEMENTS: NONE
EVIDENCE: NONE
ACTIONS RECOMMENDED:
THAT TWO ADDITIONAL M26 ADVANCED TASERS BE ACQUIRED FOR USE. THAT USERS AIM
A LITTLE LOWER ON THEIR TARGETS.
WHEN USED PROPERLY, THE M26 ADVANCED TASER PROVED TO BE A VERY USEFUL TOOL.
REPORTING OFFICER: ********
