The incident took place back on July 8 when officers received a 911 call from a retail store employee in the 2000 block of FM 1960 West, stating a man had stolen items from the business and hit her before running from the business on foot.

Officials said the employee described the suspect, later identified as Brooks, and dispatch alerted patrol deputies to be on the lookout for him. 15 minutes after the call was received, Sergeant Garret Hardin, an HCSO veteran, spotted Brooks, and attempted to detain him. That's when, in the video, you can see Brooks running from Hardin through the parking lot of a gas station. Hardin later caught up with Brooks and told him to "Stop, dude. I'm gonna taze you.

The video shows that the sergeant told him to ‘quit,' and during the struggle, you can see Brooks reaching for Hardin's taser that was on the ground near Brooks' head. The video then goes blurry for a few seconds due to the scuffle, and you can hear Hardin saying, "I'm gonna shoot you. Put that down. I will shoot you!"

The taser then comes back into view of the officer's body worn camera, and you can see the taser is loose on the ground.
