A 29-year-old Ukiah man died Wednesday night after being taken into custody following a 9-1-1 hang-up call, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responded around 7:40 p.m. to an apartment complex on the 300 block of Brush Street after a silent 9-1-1 call was traced to the area. While checking for any disturbances, deputies encountered a man who immediately fled. Deputies recognized him from prior contacts and knew he was on Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS). A foot chase ensued, but the man escaped into a nearby apartment complex.
Reviewing surveillance footage, deputies identified the man and determined he had arrived in a pickup reported stolen in Contra Costa County. An arrest warrant was issued for vehicle theft, resisting arrest, and violating PRCS.
Hours later, around 10:15 p.m., law enforcement received reports of a man yelling near the Orr Creek Bridge, just south of the earlier encounter. Deputies, along with Ukiah police and California Highway Patrol officers, found the man in the creek and ordered him to come out. When he refused, officers entered the water to take him into custody.
The man, who appeared disoriented, was handcuffed and carried out of the creek. He soon became unconscious, prompting officers to remove his restraints and administer Narcan, a drug used to counteract opioid overdoses. Medics arrived and transported him to Adventist Health Ukiah Valley, where life-saving efforts continued for 30 minutes before he was pronounced dead at 11:04 p.m.
Sheriff’s detectives, along with the Mendocino County District Attorney’s Office, have launched an investigation under the county’s Officer-Involved Fatal Incident Protocol. An autopsy is scheduled for March 3 to determine the cause of death.
The man’s identity has not been released pending notification of next of kin. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office.
lol
Phil Is a cuck.
Unfortunately even gas stations rhino pills and honey packs don’t work for Phil buddy here.
I verified phil is a cuck
There you go again with your cuckhold obsession. We all know it’s you NF. That’s been your go to insult for quite a while now. Your obsession with that word leads me to believe that that is your fetish. That you are the one that enjoys “wearing the horns”. Look it up if you don’t know what that term means.
False projections, pure belief, and confusion all bundled up to support a false narrative.
It appears that you may have your own obsession(s) to confront.
Lol.
Stick to facts or just keep chasing your tail in a hall of mirrors.
Facts:
Maverick is the only one to have ever been labeled so be me.
I’ve only ever posted here under this one nom de guerre.
You created a clone. Bravo.
Matt will you actually tell us his name when it’s available?
They did it again. Any witnesses see what happened down in the creek?? Bet not.
What happened is the fished an addict out of the creek and he died later from OD
It’s so interesting how addiction can be denied so hard.
Fairly certain the cameras they carry will tell the story. But that’s not a popular view. when someone overdoses it’s more fun to blame everyone but them.
And that’s why we are seeing this so much nowadays.
Certainly post release supervision is a fancy term for “kick rocks, your unworthy but the jails are full”
If you were wanted by the police, and you run away. Why would you evade them and then three hours later . Have made it only what 100 yards away and jump in a creek to hide? Mind you this time of year and at 7pm it’s cold outside, Three hours later you’ve caught your 2nd wind Just to jump in to hide n stay in a freezing ice cold swollen creek n then start to just yell n yell n bring attention to yourself. After all that ? Something doesn’t make sense. Might the young man of had hypothermia.? Could he be yelling for help?
He was high honey
So, a man, who appeared disoriented, was handcuffed and carried out of the creek by police, he soon became unconscious and died. After he was dead, they decided to un handcuff him and call an ambulance. If they came across a disoriented
man in a medical crises, why did they refuse medical instead handcuffing and arresting a dying man? Shouldn’t they have dealt with the man’s medical emergency first and dealt with and crimes later? After all he was disoriented and in the process of dying which he did, die; long before the ambulance arrived. Can’t wait for the media to post the LEO video on this to see exactly what they were doing as he died in handcuffs. They only took the handcuffs off because he was dead and that’s never a good look for officers. I’m sure the video will show no signs of life after they took the handcuffs off because he died in handcuffs.
Yeah, I just wonder how many times they tased him which we could see the body cam
Rip Malibu. You were a good guy with troubles caused by your addiction. You didn’t deserve to die this way. Rest easy buddy.
All this seems a lil fishy.. I heard him when he was yelling it sounded like he was not ok. Sure hope they investigate this a whole lot better than they do all the rest . Rip sir.
Hey what was he screaming do u know anything please let me know please
Why was 911 called in the first place, why did the victim run, why was the victim only a short distance away in the creek hours later, When the police ordered the man out of the creek, was he already exhibiting signs of hyperthermia; (Shivering.
Slurred speech or mumbling.
Slow, shallow breathing.
Weak pulse.
Clumsiness or lack of coordination.
Drowsiness or very low energy.
Confusion or memory loss.
Loss of consciousness.) why did deputies wade into the water instead of having emergency medical fire department deal with the obvious signs of hypothermia, why was the disorientated man handcuffed? Public safety above all else, this man dies in handcuffs, not a fire department stretcher… Let’s see the cam footage and hear interviews of deputies or eyewitnesses on scene. Where there is smoke there is usually fire.
Where was the crisis team? Consider 99.99% of arrests have a DUI or under the influence component. Why on earth would anyone chase someone in to a creek? Makes no sense. Sit, watch, wait, what harm is he causing to anyone besides himself in the creek? Agressive response vs knowing pepper stuggle. At some point the reality of criminality must be explored. Addressing addiction, mental health and resulting crimes before we are 10 years down the pipeline like this young man was. Failed probation and parole process must change.
He was a good man he may have made bad choices but he would never harm anyone. he was a genuine soul with genuine struggles. what gets me is all the conflicting statements from law enforcement between this and other articles they cant keep their story straight or make it sencible either. i cant stand how corrupt law enforcement are. they killed him and thats the truth why hasnt an update been released following their autopsy yesterday? hmm probably trying to cover their own asses. he was a kid a little lost yes but not someone who deserved to die like this he was one of the happiest most loved people i have ever met
