Tased Suspect Remains in Critical Condition Corpus Christi Texas

November 13, 2009

Five officers with the Corpus Christi Police Department who were on paid administrative following a tasing incident that left a man hospitalized are now back at their jobs today.

The tazing incident happened Wednesday night in a shopping center near Airline and Cimarron. The suspect said, to be a homeless man is still in intensive care at Christus Spohn South in critical condition. All five officers have been with the police department for five years or less. Police have also released a statement saying that nothing at this point indicates that none of the officers used unnecessary force and may be back on duty as early as this weekend.

According to police reports, an officer observed a man riding his bicycle the wrong way in the 2500 block of Airline. The officer activated his emergency lights and the 58-year-old man refused to stop. After a pat down, the suspect became violent and verbally abusive and the officer was only able to place one handcuff on the suspect. Police say, other officers arrived to the scene, using their taser and pepper spray to try to arrest the man and with the arrival of a fifth officer on the scene, police were able to handcuff the suspect. Reports say, that's when officers noticed the man had stopped breathing and they immediately called for an ambulance and performed CPR until medics arrived.

The suspect who remains unidentified to the media was identified through fingerprints and has a South Carolina driver's license but no local criminal history.
