It Takes a Few Taser Shots to Subdue Naked Man
Kitsap Sun
November 14, 2007
It took two officers at least three Taser shocks and two pairs of handcuffs to subdue a 6-foot-5-inch naked man believed to be on PCP on Tuesday, according to Bremerton police reports.
Officers were called to the 2600 block of Stevens Drive for reports of a 23-year-old Silverdale man with his pants around his ankles and "screaming at the top of his lungs." A man at the scene said the man was "stressing out," had ripped off all his clothing and was "not acting rational."
Only an officer and an undercover detective were on scene. They began to hear fighting inside a nearby home. The officer suspected the man inside was on PCP, noting that two other suspects have recently been found to be on the drug in the city. When the officer said he was going to check inside, the man replied, "You're going to need a lot more officers," describing the man's 315-pound frame.
The officer called for backup as he and the detective entered the house. Almost immediately, the man appeared, naked. The officer said the man "locked on" to police and had a "wild" look in his eyes, with his chest heaving and arms flailing from side to side, reports said.
The man began a "rapid advance" and was yelling, so the officer pulled his Taser. Without time to warn the suspect, the officer fired it, which ultimately put the suspect on the ground, reports said.
But the officer said the suspect repeatedly attempted to get up and was shocked two or three more times before the detective cuffed the man with two sets of handcuffs
The man was saying random sentences such as "make a movie" and "times five," and he had attempted to lick the Taser's wires, the officer reported. Officers covered the man with a blanket and watched as he began biting at the grass and put "mouthfuls" of dirt and grass in his mouth.
Police searched the home and found drug paraphernalia inside. Officers estimated a about $1,000 in damage to the home.
He was taken to Harrison Medical Center for an evaluation, then taken to Kitsap County jail on suspicion of malicious mischief.
