through my mind when he was running me off the road was i was in a bigger vehicle and i should be pushing him in the ditch and him not pushing me in the ditch. it was a little surprising. he had a better angle on my vehicle is why he was able to do it. deputy parnell stops right behind the suv and approaches the passenger door. don t move! i saw the passenger side door open slightly, then it opened more fully and i could see a man s head. his hand, and a gun in his hand. the suspect fires one shot, coming within an inch of hitting deputy parnell. as the suspect fired, i felt a puff of air by my neck. i also felt a tug at my collar. the bullet went through the side of my collar and bunched a hole in the back of my patrol uniform. we fired almost simultaneously.
in the back of my patrol uniform. we fired almost simultaneously. don t move! i was moving at the time. that was probably what saved my life. and continued to engage the suspect, you know, while i was moving as well. at that same moment, chief hudder, who is trapped in his truck, deploys his taser. i was able to aim my taser through my rear passenger window, through his driver s window which he had open to previously flip me off and able to tase the suspect in the back. don t move! in this video taken from a camera mounted on the taser, you can see the suspect attempting to open his passenger door as chief hudder fires. suspect s being tased. it s a direct hit. i could see that the probe struck him in the lower back. he immediately stiffened up, and so i could see it was working. when i ultimately turned the taser off, then the suspect slumped back into the driver s seat of his vehicle and came to a stop.
it appeared it was his intention to ram chief hudder off the road. the initial thing that went through my mind when he was running me off the road was i was in a bigger vehicle and i should be pushing him in the ditch and him not pushing me in the ditch. it was a little surprising. he had a better angle on my vehicle is why he was able to do it. deputy parnell stops right behind the suv and approaches the passenger door. don t move! i saw the passenger side door open slightly, then it opened more fully and i could see a man s head. his hand, and a gun in his hand. the suspect fires one shot, coming within an inch of hitting deputy parnell. as the suspect fired, i felt a puff of air by my neck. i also felt a tug at my collar. the bullet went through the side of my collar and bunched a hole in the back of my patrol
