Investigative Report<br />
months ago. I recall the male reaching several times into the center consul area, him<br />
pushing off of me and fleeing, and him forcing me to use my Taser for my own safety<br />
when he repeatedly reached for his waistband in what I believe was an attempt to retrieve a .<br />
weapon. I regret to inform you however that I do not recall the specifics of the situation as<br />
it was not a significant event when <strong>com</strong>pared to his resisting, which ultimately led to a use .<br />
of non-deadly force. I have no recollection of keeping the male's ID on my person, and he<br />
was no longer in my presence after the scene was secured as he was transported by a two<br />
man car to CPU where he was booked and housed not in my presence.<br />
At no time do I believe that I would have kept the male's ID on my person for any reason<br />
and not given it back to him and wish that I could be of more assistance in helping· him<br />
recover his lost ID.<br />
