.....

Now Jay and I are both big boys. I am about six foot two and, at the time was about two hundred and twenty pounds out of uniform. With all of my equipment on, I tipped the scales at about two hundred and forty pounds. Jay is about six foot one and outweighs me by about twenty pounds. With us on this guy’s back, he wasn’t going anywhere. He struggled a bit as we tried to get him handcuffed but we got him secured. Then we both just sat there for a minute staring at each other and catching our breaths, knowing how close we had been to killing this man.

Jay now had a criminal charge (Aggravated Assault on Police Officers) and took the man to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation and involuntary committal. About a week later, Jay got a phone call from one of the suicidal man’s sons. Jay asked him how his father was. He said, “Well, his right forearm is broken and he is in a cast. He is going to have to have back surgery in the next few weeks from where you guys jumped on his back. He has several vertebrae that are messed up.” Jay did not like where this conversation was going. He thought that the next thing he was going to hear is that we were going to be sued.
