VIDEO: Nude man near elementary school shot by police officer, continues to resist and is tased by other cop
Georgia police tased and pepper-sprayed a nude man near an elementary school before shooting him and then tasing him again, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a call of a man exposing himself near Peeks Chapel Elementary School in Conyers and found the nearly nude man on Benji Boulevard, a GBI press release reads.
‘He did everything possible not to use his firearm,’ said a witness who did not wish to be publicly identified.
The GBI says the man advanced on one of the officers, who responded by pepper-spraying him and employing a taser as well.
When those methods proved ineffective and the man continued to disobey orders, the officer shot him.
A second deputy arrived and used his taser on the man, who continued to refuse to comply with their demands.
He was eventually taken into custody and transported to a hospital for treatment. He remains in stable condition.
The man was later identified as 19-year-old Jason Marshall-Haynes.
WAGA-TV obtained cellphone video of the man walking before the shooting incident as well as afterward.
“He did everything possible not to use his firearm,” said a witness who did not wish to be publicly identified.
The witness said the officer fired two shots, but the man continued to advance on the officer. He added that he believed his neighbor was having a mental illness episode.
No deputies were injured in the incident. The officer who shot the man was placed on administrative leave, but Sheriff Eric J. Levett said it was a routine step to maintain investigative integrity.
