1
00:00:00,104 --> 00:00:01,110
- Breaking developments about the

2
00:00:01,110 --> 00:00:02,614
response to a controversial video

3
00:00:02,614 --> 00:00:04,510
10News first had last night.

4
00:00:04,510 --> 00:00:06,688
- Sheriff Bill Gore just talked about

5
00:00:06,688 --> 00:00:08,359
that video in the past 30 minutes.

6
00:00:08,359 --> 00:00:10,816
He confirmed it show a Sheriff's Deputy

7
00:00:10,816 --> 00:00:12,888
using a taser on a teenage boy.

8
00:00:12,888 --> 00:00:14,920
10News reporter, Jared Aarons,
live in Kearny Mesa now.

9
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,864
So Jared, the Sheriff painted
a very different picture

10
00:00:17,864 --> 00:00:20,527
from what the boy's
friends told us last night.

11
00:00:20,527 --> 00:00:21,360
- He did.

12
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,112
Sheriff Gore said the use of force

13
00:00:23,112 --> 00:00:26,256
and of the taser was
justified, and here's why.

14
00:00:26,256 --> 00:00:29,729
He passed out these pictures
of Deputy Jeremy Banks,

15
00:00:29,729 --> 00:00:32,000
the Deputy involved in that incident.

16
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,472
And you can see bite marks
on Deputy Banks' arms.

17
00:00:35,472 --> 00:00:37,440
Sheriff Gore says it's only after

18
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,148
that young boy bit Deputy Banks' in a way

19
00:00:40,148 --> 00:00:42,913
that he called significant and severe

20
00:00:42,913 --> 00:00:44,936
that the incident escalated.

21
00:00:44,936 --> 00:00:45,961
- [Voiceover] He choking him out.

22
00:00:45,961 --> 00:00:49,112
Look he's choking him out (beep).

23
00:00:49,112 --> 00:00:53,616
He's tased him, what the (beep), man!

24
00:00:53,616 --> 00:00:55,265
- [Jared] This video shows that incident

25
00:00:55,265 --> 00:00:57,808
what Sheriff Gore says
it doesn't show though

26
00:00:57,808 --> 00:01:00,704
is the up to 20 times that the officer

27
00:01:00,704 --> 00:01:02,912
asked the boy to get into his car

28
00:01:02,912 --> 00:01:04,522
so he could take him home

29
00:01:04,522 --> 00:01:08,640
before the officer had to
use some kind of force.

30
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,515
Reportedly, according to the Sheriff,

31
00:01:10,515 --> 00:01:13,032
the officer went to
the boy's mother's home

32
00:01:13,032 --> 00:01:14,353
early Saturday evening

33
00:01:14,353 --> 00:01:16,384
where she reported the boy as a runaway.

34
00:01:16,384 --> 00:01:18,504
Said he been gone for
about a day and a half

35
00:01:18,504 --> 00:01:20,115
and that this was the fifth time

36
00:01:20,115 --> 00:01:21,617
that he had run away.

37
00:01:21,617 --> 00:01:23,523
According to the Sheriff, when a juvenile

38
00:01:23,523 --> 00:01:26,568
is reported as a runaway
it is their responsibility

39
00:01:26,568 --> 00:01:28,321
to bring that child home,

40
00:01:28,321 --> 00:01:30,497
and he says this fight doesn't show

41
00:01:30,497 --> 00:01:32,089
an out of control officer,

42
00:01:32,089 --> 00:01:35,422
rather it shows an out of control child.

43
00:01:36,688 --> 00:01:39,969
- I think the Deputy
was very conscientious

44
00:01:39,969 --> 00:01:41,465
in this case.

45
00:01:41,465 --> 00:01:43,700
Immediately followed up the lead,

46
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:47,211
tried repeatedly to get the juvenile

47
00:01:47,211 --> 00:01:49,081
to voluntarily go in the car

48
00:01:49,081 --> 00:01:51,385
so he could return to his mother.

49
00:01:51,385 --> 00:01:53,353
And in actually what we have is

50
00:01:53,353 --> 00:01:56,352
really an out of control juvenile.

51
00:01:56,352 --> 00:01:58,570
- There are also new
developments in this case.

52
00:01:58,570 --> 00:02:00,066
We learned that overnight

53
00:02:00,066 --> 00:02:03,034
the Fallbrook Sheriff's
Substation was vandalized.

54
00:02:03,034 --> 00:02:05,565
Several cars and the
building were spray painted,

55
00:02:05,565 --> 00:02:07,452
there were even some broken windows.

56
00:02:07,452 --> 00:02:09,500
Sheriff Gore says that
is under investigation,

57
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:11,364
but some of the messages left

58
00:02:11,364 --> 00:02:13,429
in the spray paint indicate

59
00:02:13,429 --> 00:02:15,652
that it is related to this use of force.

60
00:02:15,652 --> 00:02:17,596
He also says that Deputy Banks

61
00:02:17,596 --> 00:02:20,284
is off today, but will
return to normal duty

62
00:02:20,284 --> 00:02:22,228
the next time he's scheduled to work

63
00:02:22,228 --> 00:02:24,980
even while this incident
remains under investigation.

64
00:02:24,980 --> 00:02:27,710
And friends of that boy tell us

65
00:02:27,710 --> 00:02:30,135
that there is a demonstration scheduled

66
00:02:30,135 --> 00:02:32,495
for 5:30 tonight in Fallbrook.

67
00:02:32,495 --> 00:02:34,423
The Sheriff says deputies will be there

68
00:02:34,423 --> 00:02:37,295
to make sure that
everything remains peaceful.
