Naugatuck, Connecticut — On October 14, 2023, Naugatuck Police Officers got a call for shoplifting at Stop and Shop in Naugatuck when 33-year-old Jarrell Day of Waterbury attempted to steal over $200 worth of beer. During the course of that theft, it was updated to a robbery charge due to the fact that there was an altercation between store staff and the suspect in question. In police body camera video, Detective Williams can be seen approaching the suspect's car and ordering both occupants out of the vehicle. The car takes off, hitting a police cruiser while driving away. A second video, taken from Officer Kehoss' body camera, shows Kehoss driving after the fleeing vehicle and finding it crashed into a pole a short distance away. Officer Kehoss chased Day and ordered him to stop before pulling out a stun gun and telling him to get on the ground. The officer then deploys the stun gun, causing Day to fall to the ground. The officer ordered Day to roll onto his stomach. When Day didn't comply, Kehoss electrified the stun gun again.

He did so one more time after asking the suspect to put his hands behind his back. After the incident, Officer Kehoss’ supervisors reviewed the video and brought it to the attention of the Office of the State’s Attorney. That office then directed the Connecticut State Police to investigate to determine if criminal charges needed to be brought against the officer. On October 30, 2023, Officer Nicholas Kehoss turned himself in to Troop A in Southbury on an active arrest warrant Monday, charging him with intentional cruelty to persons and third-degree assault. Officer Kehoss was released on a $50,000 bond and is scheduled to appear at (GA4) Waterbury Superior Court on November 11, 2023. Day was charged with attempted second-degree assault, third-degree robbery, assault on police, illegal possession of a weapon in a vehicle, second-degree larceny, reckless driving, operating under suspension and evading responsibility. He was held on $200,000 bond after the arrest.

Laguna Beach , California — On March 11, 2021, at approximately 5:54 p.m., Steinmetz is seen on video surveillance footage entering the Balboa Bay Resort parking garage. In that footage, Steinmetz entered and drove away in a white Mercedes Sedan at 5:55 p.m. Around 6:15 p.m., the owner of the Mercedes called Newport Beach police to report it stolen. Approximately 6:18 p.m., Laguna Beach Police Department Officer Ryan Radel, observed the Mercedes driven by Steinmetz traveling southbound at a high rate of speed. Officer Radel followed Steinmetz in the Mercedes, waiting for a safe place to conduct a traffic stop. Steinmetz continued to drive unpredictably. Steinmetz pulled the Mercedes over on the shoulder of Pacific Coast Highway, and Officer Radel exited his police unit to approach Steinmetz on the driver side. As Officer Radel approached, Steinmetz suddenly made a hard-left turn and quickly accelerated his vehicle away from Officer Radel. As Officer Radel raced back to his unit to give chase, Steinmetz collided with multiple cars. This collision caused one vehicle to veer off the road and another to flip and ultimately end on its side. Steinmetz continued eastbound on Newport Coast Drive from Pacific Coast Highway.

During the pursuit, Steinmetz swerved in and out of oncoming traffic while driving on the wrong side of the road. Laguna Beach police officers successfully deployed a spike strip which caused severe damage to the tires of the Mercedes. Eventually, Corporal James Gramer successfully performed a pursuit intervention technique (PIT) maneuver by tapping the rear of the Mercedes with the front of his police vehicle, causing the Mercedes to spin and eventually stop. At 6:38 p.m., less than 15 seconds after the Mercedes came to a stop, Steinmetz quickly exited his vehicle. Upon exiting, Steinmetz immediately stepped backward and made a distinct movement to put both hands to his right hip. This was indicative of someone attempting to grab or hide something at the right hip. Steinmetz continued to keep his hands at his waistband then suddenly walked forward, almost jumping or lunging, toward the officers. As Steinmetz moved rapidly toward the officers, Steinmetz quickly raised both hands chest high from his right hip.

He simultaneously pressed his palms together, extended his finger and arms outward directly at Officer Radel. Steinmetz purposefully simulated having a gun by making this gesture and doing so in a quick movement. Due to this perceived threat, Officer Radel fired six rounds. Despite the shots fired, Steinmetz appeared unfazed and continued to move forward towards the officers. Steinmetz continued charging toward the officers, moving between Officer Radel and Sergeant Downing's vehicles. Officers indicated it was clear Steinmetz was not holding a firearm, therefore non-lethal force was used. The Taser successfully incapacitated Steinmetz, and he fell to the ground. Officer Radel then retrieved a first aid kit and provided it to the officers who immediately began rendering aid. Steinmetz was transported to Mission Hospital Mission Viejo. Steinmetz was transported at the hospital and eventually underwent surgery. Steinmetz was deemed to have sustained three gunshot wounds: one to his upper left chest, one to his lower right abdomen, and one to his lower left forearm. He ultimately survived his injuries.

Marion County, Florida — On Tuesday, October 24, 2023, at approximately 7:15 p.m., an MCSO deputy conducted a traffic stop on a dirt bike near the intersection of SE Maricamp Road and Emerald Road. The driver, later identified as 26-year-old Rasheem Edwards, could not produce a valid form of ID. During the traffic stop, Edwards fled on foot toward a field where a youth sports practice was being held. The deputy gave chase and, after running a short distance, Edwards pulled out a firearm he was carrying on his hip. Edwards then fumbled the firearm, causing it to fall to the ground.

Edwards immediately reached down and picked up the firearm, at which time he was shot by the pursuing deputy. Edwards was transported to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. FDLE is investigating the shooting. The deputy is on paid administrative leave, as is standard practice. Edwards was a convicted felon, having been convicted of Attempted Burglary in New York, and it was illegal for him to possess this firearm. The deputy, who as the victim of a criminal offense has invoked the protection of Marsy’s Law, is not being identified at this time.
