00:00:00.104 --> 00:00:01.110
- Breaking developments about the

00:00:01.110 --> 00:00:02.614
response to a controversial video

00:00:02.614 --> 00:00:04.510
10News first had last night.

00:00:04.510 --> 00:00:06.688
- Sheriff Bill Gore just talked about

00:00:06.688 --> 00:00:08.359
that video in the past 30 minutes.

00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:10.816
He confirmed it show a Sheriff's Deputy

00:00:10.816 --> 00:00:12.888
using a taser on a teenage boy.

00:00:12.888 --> 00:00:14.920
10News reporter, Jared Aarons,
live in Kearny Mesa now.

00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:17.864
So Jared, the Sheriff painted
a very different picture

00:00:17.864 --> 00:00:20.527
from what the boy's
friends told us last night.

00:00:20.527 --> 00:00:21.360
- He did.

00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:23.112
Sheriff Gore said the use of force

00:00:23.112 --> 00:00:26.256
and of the taser was
justified, and here's why.

00:00:26.256 --> 00:00:29.729
He passed out these pictures
of Deputy Jeremy Banks,

00:00:29.729 --> 00:00:32.000
the Deputy involved in that incident.

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.472
And you can see bite marks
on Deputy Banks' arms.

00:00:35.472 --> 00:00:37.440
Sheriff Gore says it's only after

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:40.148
that young boy bit Deputy Banks' in a way

00:00:40.148 --> 00:00:42.913
that he called significant and severe

00:00:42.913 --> 00:00:44.936
that the incident escalated.

00:00:44.936 --> 00:00:45.961
- [Voiceover] He choking him out.

00:00:45.961 --> 00:00:49.112
Look he's choking him out (beep).

00:00:49.112 --> 00:00:53.616
He's tased him, what the (beep), man!

00:00:53.616 --> 00:00:55.265
- [Jared] This video shows that incident

00:00:55.265 --> 00:00:57.808
what Sheriff Gore says
it doesn't show though

00:00:57.808 --> 00:01:00.704
is the up to 20 times that the officer

00:01:00.704 --> 00:01:02.912
asked the boy to get into his car

00:01:02.912 --> 00:01:04.522
so he could take him home

00:01:04.522 --> 00:01:08.640
before the officer had to
use some kind of force.

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.515
Reportedly, according to the Sheriff,

00:01:10.515 --> 00:01:13.032
the officer went to
the boy's mother's home

00:01:13.032 --> 00:01:14.353
early Saturday evening

00:01:14.353 --> 00:01:16.384
where she reported the boy as a runaway.

00:01:16.384 --> 00:01:18.504
Said he been gone for
about a day and a half

00:01:18.504 --> 00:01:20.115
and that this was the fifth time

00:01:20.115 --> 00:01:21.617
that he had run away.

00:01:21.617 --> 00:01:23.523
According to the Sheriff, when a juvenile

00:01:23.523 --> 00:01:26.568
is reported as a runaway
it is their responsibility

00:01:26.568 --> 00:01:28.321
to bring that child home,

00:01:28.321 --> 00:01:30.497
and he says this fight doesn't show

00:01:30.497 --> 00:01:32.089
an out of control officer,

00:01:32.089 --> 00:01:35.422
rather it shows an out of control child.

00:01:36.688 --> 00:01:39.969
- I think the Deputy
was very conscientious

00:01:39.969 --> 00:01:41.465
in this case.

00:01:41.465 --> 00:01:43.700
Immediately followed up the lead,

00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:47.211
tried repeatedly to get the juvenile

00:01:47.211 --> 00:01:49.081
to voluntarily go in the car

00:01:49.081 --> 00:01:51.385
so he could return to his mother.

00:01:51.385 --> 00:01:53.353
And in actually what we have is

00:01:53.353 --> 00:01:56.352
really an out of control juvenile.

00:01:56.352 --> 00:01:58.570
- There are also new
developments in this case.

00:01:58.570 --> 00:02:00.066
We learned that overnight

00:02:00.066 --> 00:02:03.034
the Fallbrook Sheriff's
Substation was vandalized.

00:02:03.034 --> 00:02:05.565
Several cars and the
building were spray painted,

00:02:05.565 --> 00:02:07.452
there were even some broken windows.

00:02:07.452 --> 00:02:09.500
Sheriff Gore says that
is under investigation,

00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:11.364
but some of the messages left

00:02:11.364 --> 00:02:13.429
in the spray paint indicate

00:02:13.429 --> 00:02:15.652
that it is related to this use of force.

00:02:15.652 --> 00:02:17.596
He also says that Deputy Banks

00:02:17.596 --> 00:02:20.284
is off today, but will
return to normal duty

00:02:20.284 --> 00:02:22.228
the next time he's scheduled to work

00:02:22.228 --> 00:02:24.980
even while this incident
remains under investigation.

00:02:24.980 --> 00:02:27.710
And friends of that boy tell us

00:02:27.710 --> 00:02:30.135
that there is a demonstration scheduled

00:02:30.135 --> 00:02:32.495
for 5:30 tonight in Fallbrook.

00:02:32.495 --> 00:02:34.423
The Sheriff says deputies will be there

00:02:34.423 --> 00:02:37.295
to make sure that
everything remains peaceful.

00:02:37.295 --> 00:02:40.051
