A man who was shocked in the face with a Taser by a Las Animas County sheriff’s deputy in 2022 was awarded $1.5 million in a lawsuit settlement with county officials. The incident began when deputies Trujillo and Noel pulled over the man’s son. The man stopped to wait. But the deputies confronted the man and eventually tased him in the face.

This footage was submitted by Bubba, from Wichita, Kansas. He says that his go cart was stolen, and apparently someone crashed it down the street, causing injury. Bubba recovered the go cart and returned home. But then the cops showed up, demanding information. Without a warrant, a police officer entered his home, tased him multiple times and arrested him. Can they do that without a warrant?
Bodycam footage was just released following an $8 Million Dollar settlement against the City of Pittsburgh, after Jim Rogers, a homeless man, was tased over 10 times by a Pittsburgh police officer, resulting in his death. The footage had been previously sealed by order of the court. It was released by the law firm that represented the Jones family. The entire graphic footage is available directly here.
On Sunday, August 29, 2021, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was requested by the Homerville Police Department to investigate an officer involved shooting. Preliminary information indicates that at approximately 10:06 a.m., the Homerville Police Department and Clinch County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a 911 call of suspicious persons in a vehicle at 40 Thelma Hwy, Homerville, Georgia. What happened next… you’ll just have to see for yourself.
An Alabama police officer is now on leave while authorities investigate a viral video showing her tasing a handcuffed man. She tells him to lay down on the front of the vehicle. She puts her taser on his back and tases him, as he screams. She then asks him, “Do you want it again?”
Police officers arrived at a gym on a noise complaint. The gym owner expressed his displeasure at the officers’ presence. As they started to detain him, he went back into his gym and told the officers they could not enter. But they did enter and tased him and took him to the ground, and arrested him. Here’s the issue. The Fourth Amendment does not allow police to go inside your home and arrest you without a warrant. But what about your business? Did they need a warrant under the Fourth Amendment to arrest this gym owner?
Here’s the raw use of force clip:
Here’s the media report.
State police have arrested a Naugatuck police officer who was under criminal investigation for his use of a taser during an arrest earlier this month. Thirty-six-year-old Nicholas Kehoss, a 13-year veteran of the police force, has been charged with intentional cruelty to persons and assault in the third degree. The incident happened on Oct. 14 during the arrest of 33-year-old Jarrell Day, of Waterbury. The arrest followed a brief pursuit and foot chase after an attempted robbery at Stop & Shop in Naugatuck, according to police.
Here’s the raw bodycam footage showing the repeated use of the taser on Jarrell Day that was censored in the Youtube version:

Remember the video I posted that was filmed by my client, showing a police officer purportedly experiencing a contact overdose after an arrestee allegedly threw a white powdery substance in his face? The suspect was charged with two counts of attempted murder of police officers. Well, a year has now gone by and the toxicology results came in. The criminal case is now over. Was it real? Was it a hoax?
Here’s the RAW footage of the incident, as captured by my client:
Vancouver Police Department Officer Andrea Mendoza allegedly pulled a man’s pants down and threatened to charge a Taser onto his exposed genitals. This occurred immediately after police were called to Walmart due to suspected shoplifting. The man had already said he was “done” resisting by that point, body camera footage shows. But she threatened him again and held the Taser against his skin for 24 seconds.
On Tuesday, the Clark County Prosecutor’s Office filed fourth-degree assault charges against the officer. The local police union has, of course, objected to the prosecutor’s decision. Apparently, all of the criminal charges against the shoplifting suspect were dropped.
Here’s the raw footage, provided by the City of Vancouver.
Body camera video showing a Larimer County Colorado Sheriff’s deputy tasing a man on Interstate 25 seconds before he was hit by a passing SUV was released Wednesday by attorneys for the man’s family and by the sheriff’s office. Who’s at fault here? Was this a constitutional violation? Is it the officer’s fault? The car’s fault? The guy who ran’s fault? Did the officer commit a crime?
Raw footage here.
Here’s the report from the District Attorney with all of the investigation details.
