Observation Of In-Vehicle Scenarios

I, Sgt. Sanders, responded to the scene and spoke with the suspect and Officer Wright. After speaking with those involved and reviewing in-car video of the video the following was found. The suspect was intoxicated and in a mental crisis. He made several statements that he enjoyed pain and that he was Lucifer. The suspect had apparent cuts to his forehead caused from being taken to the ground. The suspect also had a cut on his leg from broken glass (It appears that the suspect had shoved a picture frame down his pants and it had broken sometime during the RTR). The suspect was transported by Rural/Metro Ambulance to UT Hospital for his injuries and a mental evaluation. Officer Wright used the minimum amount of force necessary under the circumstances
and acted in accordance with Knoxville Police Department policies and procedures.
