 I'm Theresa Gillian. I am the District 6 Community Resource Officer. My partner and I were conducting proactive patrols within the Ballpark neighborhood, and we had contact, a mail for trespass, which was a very low-level offense. We may not have even issued him a citation. At the time, he kept lying about his name and giving us false information, so we had decided that we were going to take him downtown to get him fingerprinted and see what else was maybe going on with that. The minute we grabbed him, we each had an arm, the fight was on. Those are the things that we can't control on the street, and you go from what seems to be a routine contact, and then it turned into a complete melee. The next thing I knew, my head had come into a forceful contact with the police vehicle, with the large trash can, and then ultimately I got knocked off my feet and my head hit the same end. My partner had gotten knocked over onto his back, and the suspect was on top of him, and I didn't know this at the time, but he was trying to take his gun. He had a hold of it, and he was, you know, pulling on his weapon, and I was able to get him off of my partner, and we were able to pan him down on the ground. He was bigger than I was. He was high, but all that was was getting the right angle and then using my body weight to pan him down. I was covered in feces. I mean, he was sweaty, and it was a mess. It was disgusting, and I mean, it could have been a very different story. It could have been an officer involved shooting. He could have shot my partner. I mean, if he would have got that weapon out, so I feel like being able to use that leverage and those angles and my body weight in the right position is really, I attribute that to what I learned from Jujitsu, but I believe that it saved my life.
