Do you understand these rights I explain to you? >> Yes. Please get me a lawyer. I do not have the funds to afford one. >> Okay. >> Ow. He was Yeah, it's um he I told him like, "Look, they want you to leave." He was like, "Well, I want to know why I'm being fired." Told him they don't have to provide you that. They tell you you're fired, you have to leave. He's like, "Well, I'm not leaving until they tell me." He's like, "Well, I'll clock out." And I was like, "All right, well, this is how it's going to go. You either leave with me or you leave on your own." So, he just kind of went like that. So, I said, "Okay." So, I stepped to him. I grabbed his hand. He tensed up. uh put this hand down to his side. I didn't know at the time, but he had a zero handgun in this pocket. Um so he sn he pulled back like this. I stepped back, took my taser, probed him. Um the first one didn't do anything to him cuz it was it was real close. So I stepped back again, hit him with the second one. Um he grabbed a hold of it and then just charged me. So I took him to the ground. Um I think I think what the head injury is from my taser cuz I I popped him and um we were we were fighting at that point. Um and then he started screaming that he had a gun and then that's when I noticed all the blood. >> Hey guys. >> Hey. >> You want to grab a camera too? want to get pictures before they uh bandage him. >> Yeah, snap some. I don't have any camera. >> Yeah, I can film on my body camera. >> Okay, I got I'm going grab some more latex. See if we got some more napkins in the car.

Um he was struck in the head with a impact we weapon uh specifically a taser. Um he was cased twice. Um didn't get the he got the 5 seconds out of total. Um he charged me. Uh we started wrestling. I struck him I think twice in the head with the taser. Um he went to the ground and he's got a laceration to the head. Um his adrenaline is definitely wearing off. So, the pain's starting to set in. He's got a pretty decent laceration. >> I see that. >> So, I don't know how you want to get him into the truck, but >> yeah, he's it's it's bleeding. >> Okay. >> You need more paper? >> Can we hold it? >> Here's some more paper if you need it. Are you able to if we help you stand up? Are you able to stand up then? >> He said he was feeling lightheaded. >> Are you still feeling lightheaded? >> Yeah. >> All right. Well, >> just go get the stretcher. >> Say to get the stretcher. >> All right. >> Slow your breathing down, buddy. >> Yeah. You got to slow your breathing down. >> Probably hyperventilating on top of it. So, you need to calm down a little bit. >> Y'all get here. They need people back on perimeter. >> I appreciate you, buddy. I'm here, guys. >> I I I know his name is Nick. >> Zack. >> Zack.

Some clean? >> Gregs, here >> are the keys. They're not bloody. >> It's not at this point. I'm just worried about you, okay? >> Again, I am sorry. >> It happens, man. Sometimes Sometimes the anger just just gets to us. But don't don't worry about that. I want I'm worried about your health right now. Okay. Don't don't hit your head anymore. >> Yeah. And try not to hyperventilate. Okay. >> Trying. I just can't. >> I know. Just in through your nose, out through your mouth. Slow breaths. All right, we got the stretcher back here. You think you can make it? >> What? What? What do you want to do, Heather? >> We can stand him up and >> Okay. >> Hang on. We're going to help. >> All right. We're going to help you. >> All right. Get your bearings. >> All right. You all right? Talk to us, buddy. >> One sec. >> Okay. If you feel like you're going to fall out, let me know so we can get you back on the ground. Okay. >> Yeah. >> You feel like you're going to fall out? >> Is there Is there a way we can get like the stretcher underneath you before you do? >> Yeah, we can wheel him. All right.

We're going to help you stand back up. I'd like to get his jacket off, though. Well, I mean, we're just right across the street. >> He's got the barbs in it, so I mean it um >> The barbs didn't go through. >> I know. That's why you didn't get the full effect of the taser, cuz it these new ones would have dropped you like a sack of potatoes, buddy. >> They're not fun. >> I know. I was tased when I went through Department of Corrections. >> I gota >> um go ahead and just move to the front. >> All right, let's let's stand up, buddy. >> But I don't know. I'm going to that I'll be able to get blood pressure and stuff through that. Also, >> we got shears. >> I'm wearing a long sleeve under it anyway. >> So, so the only only problem is the the physical where he charged me. So, otherwise, I'd be totally for it. Um I know he's calm now, but typically if >> they show violent action, we don't we try not to completely unrestrain them. >> Yeah, I know. >> Um so, I'm I'm good with them in the front. Um, maybe if we weren't in such confined space like at the hospital, we'd probably get it if that it's a if that's okay. >> Zachary was transported to the county jail and charged with armed trespassing, battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence, and carrying a concealed unlicensed firearm.
