6/18/2020 Incident Summary Sarasota Police Department Use Of Force Report Incident Entered By: Officer Anthony Misiti - 1774 Assigned Investigator: [Incident pending assignment] Incident Details Date Received Date of Occurrence Time of Occurrence 8/25/2018 8/25/2018 01:13 Record ID # Report # File # 10836 18-051195 U18-0320 Date/Time Entered 8/25/2018 18:48 Incident Summary On 8/25/18 at approximately 0113 hours, I conducted a traffic stop in the 3000 block of Gillespie Ave. Upon contact with the driver, he refused to ID himself or roll down his window to speak with me. I observed him attempting to hide narcotics in the center console. Officer Craig arrived as backup and I opened the driver door which was unlocked. The driver still refused to ID himself and continued to make furtive movements towards his waist and in between the seat and center console. At this time, I grabbed the suspects right wrist and attempted to pull him from the vehicle. I yelled several times for the suspect to stop resisting but he refused. The suspect began to pull away and tried to climb into the passenger side of the vehicle. The passenger exited the vehicle and left the door open. I continued to pull on the suspect and used a closed fist to punch him in the side of the head and face several times while yelling, "stop resisting". The suspect appeared to be high on some kind of narcotic and was not reacting to my punches. I then deployed my taser, attempting to hit him in the upper body with the first shot and lower body with the second because of our close proximity. The suspect screamed out but was able to pull the darts from his upper body causing the taser to be ineffective. The suspect then climbed into the passenger seat and ran out of the passenger door. He attempted to climb a fence nearby but was stopped by myself and Officer Craig. As we pulled him from the fence, I used a leg sweep to take the suspect to the ground. Once on the ground I put my knee on the back of his neck and held him while Officer Craig applied handcuffs. At this point we were being surrounded by several other male subjects that had their fists balled up and they were stepping towards us like they were going to fight us. Officer Craig and I were both on the ground and at a disadvantage. I then drew my firearm from the holster and pointed it at the closest subject yelling at him to back up. At that time, Officer Kennedy and several other Officer's arrived on scene and I re-holstered my firearm and continued to help Officer Craig with handcuffing. The suspect was then placed in the rear of my patrol vehicle so I could safely clear the scene.
