Six officers restrained Ashley Charles Washington, who had stabbed an officer and police dog with scissors
Ashley left the property wearing only a pair of shorts and became aggressive towards the home owner who had followed him into the street.The officer called out to Ashley to get on the ground but he made unintelligible noises and walked away.
“ then deployed his Taser, which caused Ashley to fall to the ground briefly and he was directed to put his hands behind his back,” Lio-Willie said. The officer used his Taser on Ashley again, causing him to fall to the ground, and then radioed that he had been stabbed and requested assistance.Five other officers arrived and placed Ashley in handcuffs and pushed his legs towards his buttocks but he continued to yell and spit blood.
A forensic examination of his body showed injuries from a Taser to the back of his neck, right upper arm, left upper buttock and right thigh.
