That represents a 13.7-percent decrease after 10 months. According to demoflush population estimates, in October the monthly average was 125,207 compared to 122,295 in October of 2012, reflecting a slight increase in population this year compared to last. Included in every monthly crime report is the use of Conducted Electrical Weapon (CEW), or Tasers. In October, there were two incidents when Tasers were targeted, meaning the device was aimed at the suspect with the lasers clearly indicating where the probes will hit the suspect if the officer pulls the trigger. On Monday, Oct. 21, an officer initiated a traffic stop at the entrance of Route 90 for a suspected intoxicated driver. During this encounter, the suspect agreed to allow the officer to pat him down for drugs. When the suspect went to remove his boots, he fled on foot into the marsh. Due to the fact that it was dark out and officers were unsure if the suspect had any weapons, an officer targeted the suspect with his CEW, which gained immediate compliance. The suspect had a minor abrasion to his forehead from running into the marsh but no officers were injured. On Sunday, Oct. 27, officers observed an intoxicated subject being escorted out of a night club. When the suspect refused to leave the property, officers informed the suspect he was under arrest. The suspect immediately became belligerent and pulled away from the officers. The suspect was brought to the ground and he continued to struggle with officers. Another officer targeted the suspect with his CEW, which gained immediate compliance. Marijuana was found on the suspect’s person, and there were no injuries to anyone involved. Wed-Fri.
