S.A. 12-031 Investigator: BRETT ANDERSEN Approved By: Date of Report: 01/22/2013 Date:01/23/13 Page 14 of 29 ANDERSEN: Uh-huh. GARCIA: …dark jacket over him. He wasn’t holding onto his jacket, the pocket, the pants or anything like that, he actually had his hand tucked in, um underneath the jacket. And when I first initially saw him, he had a blank stare, uh like deer in the headlight type of thing stare. Um, he wasn’t looking at me, he was looking straight at that, at that wall, that fence wall. Um immediately said let me see your hands, Santa Ana Police, don’t move, um he, he didn’t give me a stare. I told him again show me your hands, show me your hands. At this time it clicks I guess it clicked on him that I was there, he looks up at me and he goes “fuck you, I’m going to kill you!” Now I’ve had many people in my career tell me the same thing, fuck you, I’m going to kill you, and you know, we’re pretty much feet apart, where I have used tasers to disable these guys, or used hands on to take them into custody or anything like that so. I’m like okay. Um, show me your hands, show me your hands. At the same time I seen my partner um now running on the west side of…uh…Lacey, on the sidewalk thinking, I don’t know what he’s thinking, obviously…but I’m thinking he thinks the guy made it way across. I scream out louder, so my partner could hear me…where I was at. I go hey let me see your, your hands and this guy…um tugged on his waistband, he’s all, he’s like “no fuck you, I’m going to fucking kill you”, and I go dude, let me see your hands. And he continues to tug on the waistband and as he starts to say “fuck you I’m going to kill you…I’m going to do it now!”, he starts climbing up. There was debris…I don’t know what the other side had, but he started climbing not…not like running towards the wall but actually escalating up. ANDERSEN: Uh-huh.
