GUEST COMENTARY police law news Daniel Carr Officer Involved: Jarrell Day. Cop Unjustly Facing Charges. A police officer in Naugatuck, Connecticut was arrested and charged with 3rd degree assault for the force he utilized during an effort to arrest an actively resistant felon. The force utilized by the officer was reasonable, necessary, and proportional to achieve the lawful objective and well within any rational department use of force policy. However, during the arrest the officer utilized colorful language and dishonest politicians (as well as the usual swath of anti-police activists) are refusing to separate the cursing from the actual force utilized. WHAT HAPPENED On October 14, 2023 Jarrell Day stole six packs of beer (totaling approximately 0) from a Stop & Shop in Naugatuck, CT. Since the merchandise was taken unlawfully under the threat of force - this was upgraded to a felony level Robbery offense. The store called police officers and Officer Nicholas Kehoss with the Naugatuck police department and his partner arrived on scene. Officers made contact with Mr. Day, who was in the driver’s seat of a vehicle, and gave him commands to “shut off” the car and exit. Mr. Day refused to comply with the lawful commands and instead of accepting responsibility for his criminal acts he accelerated forward - away from police officers. As the vehicle fled at a high rate of speed - it crashed into two police cars in an effort to evade law enforcement. At this point the officers had charges of: Robbery, Reckless driving, and Eluding an officer and a vehicle pursuit was initiated. Eventually, Mr. Day crashed the vehicle and ran on foot through an open field. CAUGHT Officer Kehoss engaged in a foot pursuit after Mr. Day and was able to catch up to him in a field. Officer Kehoss then gave Mr. Day commands to “Stop! Stop! Get on the ground!” Mr. Day refused to comply and remained in a standing position. USE OF FORCE Officer Kehoss then deployed a Taser at Mr. Day. This application of force did achieve the desired effect and Mr. Day fell to the ground. Once on the ground, Mr. Day was laying on his back. Officer Kehoss gave him multiple commands to, “Get on your stomach!” Mr. Day refused to roll onto his stomach and the Taser was deployed a second time. This application of force did achieve the desired effect - as it convinced Mr. Day to roll onto his stomach. Once on his stomach, Officer Kehoss holstered the Taser and gave Mr. Day several commands to, “Put your hands behind your back!” Mr. Day refused and kept his hands near his head. Officer Kehoss then grabbed Mr. Day’s right arm with both of his hands and tried to move it behind his back. Mr. Day actively resisted and pulled his arm away from Officer Kehoss. Officer Kehoss then warned Mr. Day that he would be “tased” if he did not comply and Officer Kehoss unholstered the Taser and deployed the device in “drive stun” mode on Mr. Day’s back. This application of force did achieve the desired effect - as it convinced Mr. Day to allow Officer Kehoss to handcuff him. POST-USE OF FORCE Mr. Day sustained no injuries - as the Taser is uncomfortable during deployment - but typically has zero negative after effects. Mr. Day was arrested and with 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. Officer Kehoss was arrested and charged with intentional cruelty to persons and third-degree assault. He is free after posting ,000 bail and has been on paid administrative leave since October 23, 2023. ANALYSIS The use of force from Officer Kehoss - all three Taser deployments were not only within the law but 18 The Blues 40th Anniversary Issue
