(104039) HAMMAN, JEREMY 3656 Supplement Narrative On Thursday, November 12, 2015, about 0130 hours, I was assigned to patrol at the Eden Township Substation (ETS). was in. full. uniform, driving a fully marked patrol vehicle (#2448), when the following incident occurred. Deputy S. Osborne noti?ed Sheriffs Dispatch of an occupied stolen vehicle, a white, 2015 Mercedes C300 (CA LIC #71 OR578), parked in the Traveler?s Inn parking lot at 17290 Foothill Boulevard, Castro Valley. I responded to the Traveler?s Inn and as I pulled my patrol vehicle into the parking lot, I saw the white Mercedes parked facing west towards Foothill Boulevard. The vehicle was not parked in a parking stall, but parked in the middle of the parking lot with the lights on. The driver of the vehicle and sole occupant, later identi?ed as Stanislav Petrov, looked directly at me as I activated my patrol vehicle?s overhead emergency lights, including a solid red light to the front, and attempted to conduct a felony stop. Based on the location of Petrov?s vehicle, and because the parking lot had only one entrance and exit, I had no other option but to conduct a felony stop with both my vehicle and the suspects? vehicle facing one another. Petrov looked directly at my patrol vehicle, with all of my emergency lights activated, and began to drive towards my vehicle and the exit of the Traveler?s Inn parking lot. I exited my patrol vehicle and stood by the front left driver side door as I gave verbal commands for Petrov to stop his vehicle. I ordered Petrov to stop his vehicle multiple times, but Petrov did not comply and continued to drive past my patrol vehicle. At this time, Petrov?s vehicle was approximately 10 feet from me and he quickly accelerated past my patrol vehicle in an attempt to exit the parking lot and evade being apprehended. When Petrov accelerated past my patrol vehicle, I heard the engine began reving loudly and the squealing of the vehicle?s tires. When Petrov rapidly accelerated past my patrol vehicle, my patrol vehicles? lights illuminated the inside of his vehicle and I was able to clearly see his face. Petrov looked to be mid-20?s, possibly Hispanic, he had a beard and was wearing a white t-shirt. Based on the positioning of my patrol vehicle, Petrov had a space approximately 10 feet in width in between the right side of my patrol vehicle and the cement barrier leading to the exit of the Traveler?s Inn. This space was wide enough for Petrov to be able to ?ee the scene past my patrol vehicle. When Petrov accelerated past me, he abruptly veered towards the right, rear side of my patrol vehicle, colliding with the rear of my vehicle. I heard a loud impact sound when Petrov?s vehicle collided with my patrol vehicle and immediately felt the lower, driver door frame hit my left leg. I felt a sharp pain in my lower left leg following the impact of my patrol vehicle colliding with my leg. I feared Petrov?s collision with my patrol vehicle, which caused my vehicle to hit me, could cause further serious injury. The impact of my patrol Case Status: Printed: 2/26/2016 10:11 Page 54 of 62 INCIDENT CRIMINAL REPORT Alameda County Sheriff's Office Agency: ETS ORI: Case Number: 15-019904 vehicle colliding with my leg knocked me backwards approximately 3 feet. I jumped backwards an additional few feet to distance myself from my patrol vehicle because I was in fear of being further injured. The impact of Petrov?s vehicle colliding with my vehicle was so severe, it disabled my patrol vehicle and I was unable to pursue Petrov. Based on the space for Petrov to exit the hotel without hitting my vehicle and his intentional act of colliding with the rear of my vehicle, I believed Petrov tried to harm or kill me and disable my patrol vehicle to evade being apprehended. As Petrov ?ed the scene, Deputy Osborne had positioned his patrol vehicle into the entrance of the parking lot. After Petrov purposefully collided with my patrol vehicle, he then redirected his vehicle towards the front of Deputy Osborne?s vehicle. I heard Petrov?s vehicle continue to "rev" and I heard a second loud impact sound as Petrov collided with the front left side of Deputy Osborne?s vehicle. Petrov then rapidly accelerated and I heard the tires of the vehicle squealing as it drove past our patrol vehicles and across the east sidewalk in front of the Traveler?s Inn. Petrov?s vehicle then turned north on Foothill Boulevard and accelerated away at a high rate of speed. . - Due to the damage to my patrol vehicle, I was unable to pursue Petrov following the incident. I noti?ed Sergeant W. Adams of the incident and remained at the Traveler?s Inn for California Highway Patrol (CHP) to arrive on scene for the collision report. CHP Of?cer Cross arrived on scene for the collision report. (Refer to log #0164). Deputy J. Cota took digital photographs of my patrol vehicle and me following the incident. These photographs were later downloaded onto a CD and the CD was placed in evidence at ETS. My patrol vehicle was later brought to the upper-lot at ETS. I inspected my patrol vehicle, prior to it being brought to the upper-lot at ETS, and saw extensive damage to the right, rear side of the vehicle. A portion of the right rear bumper had been broken off from the impact of Petrov?s vehicle colliding with my vehicle. There was a signi?cant dent to the right rear quarter panel above the wheel well of my patrol vehicle. I was later transported by Deputy M. Petrini to Eden Hospital to be evaluated for possible injuries sustained . during the incident. Dr. J. McWhorter evaluated me and determined I suffered a contusion to my lower left leg. I felt pain in the lower right side of my left leg and there was tenderness to the area where my leg had been struck by my patrol vehicle. I was treated and released from Eden Hospital. I was later shown a DMV photo of Stanislav Petrov and positively identi?ed him as the driver of the Mercedes that I had attempted to stop and who drove into my patrol vehicle in the Traveler?s Inn. On 111315, the morning after the incident, I noticed bruising to the lower right side of my left leg, where my leg was hit by my patrol vehicle. The area of my leg was sore and had discoloration. On 111515, I returned to work and noti?ed my supervisors of the bruising and soreness to my lower left leg. Deputy J. Cota took digital photographs of my leg and the bruising to document my condition following the incident. These digital photographs were later downloaded onto a CD and placed in evidence at ETS. This is a supplement to Deputy Osborne?s original report #15-019904. Case Status: Printed: 2/26/2016 10:11 Page 55 of 62
