From the beginning, they noted the fire was “suspicious” in nature. Captain Gene Smith of the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office said “there were several things wrong” there. About daylight firemen and Sheriff’s deputies searched the scene, confirming their suspicions. The body of 33-year-old Wanda Baize was lying on the bed in the bedroom, and the body of her husband, Ronald Eugene Baize, 37, was found about five minutes later, on the living room floor. The couple’s car was missing. Neighbors told investigators the Baizes’ 16year-old son, Thomas Joel Baize, had been home for a weekend visit from the Gulf Coast Trade School, a youth rehabilitation center at New Waverly, but he was not on the scene. Thomas had been at the school, which served as an alternative to the state youth correction facility, since November, the neighbors said, but he had been picked up by his parents for a weekend furlough the previous Friday. Later, on the day of the fire, the Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office reported that both of the victims had been shot. A .44 caliber Magnum pistol belonging to Baize was found in the wreckage of the mobile home. Upon learning this, Matt Wingo, the sheriff’s investigator on the scene, radioed for officers to be on the lookout for Thomas Baize and for the family’s 1978 Pontiac. The car was spotted on the SH 35 Bypass near Alvin later that afternoon. Thomas and two juvenile passengers were taken into custody. They had beer in the car, and the two passengers were charged with minors being in possession alcohol. After taking custody of Thomas, Wingo told him that his parents were dead. Noting his reaction Wingo wrote that Thomas “simply stated, ‘Really,’ with no affect.” Wingo said Thomas was taken before Justice of the Peace A.L. Lee in Angleton, and was interviewed by Juvenile Investigator Eileen Thacker. He gave a full confession, “including telling us the bloody clothing he had on when he killed his parents” was at the residence of friends, Wingo’s report read. Before Thomas could sign his confession, however, he was stopped from doing so by John Davis, his court-appointed attorney. Thomas was 16 years and five months Murdered...Cont. on pg 3 February 2010 WANTED SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A CHILD Kevin Eugene Washington Investigators with the Galveston County Sheriff's Office say this man picked up his girlfriend on October 21, 2008, drove her to an isolated location and sexually assaulted.

Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new refrigerator. 2. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier. 3. Love those flowers. That tells me you have taste...And taste means there are nice things inside. Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming system they have. 4. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it. 5. If it snows while you’re out of town, get a neighbor to create car and foot tracks into the house. Virgin drifts in the driveway are a dead giveaway. 6. If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, don’t let your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if it’s set. That makes it too easy. 7. A good security company alarms the window over the sink. And the windows on the second floor, which often access the master bedroom-and your jewelry. It’s not a bad idea to put motion detectors up there, too. 8. Its raining, you’re fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door-understandable. But understand this: I don’t take a day off because of bad weather. 9. I always knock first. If you answer, I’ll ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. (Don’t take me up on it.) 10. Do you really think I won’t look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, and the medicine cabinet. 11. Here’s a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids’ rooms. 12. You’re right: I won’t have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if it’s not bolted down, I’ll take it with me. 13. A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the best alarm system. If you’re reluctant to leave your TV on while you’re out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television. (Find it at faketv.Com.) 8 More Things Your Burglar Won’t Tell You: 1. Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I dress like a lawn guy and carry a rake. I do my best to never, ever look like a crook. 2. The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy neighbors. 3. I’ll break a window to get in, even if it makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound, he’ll stop what he’s doing and wait to hear it again. If he doesn’t hear it again, he’ll just go back to what he was doing. It’s human nature. 4. I’m not complaining, but why would you pay all that money for a fancy alarm system and leave your house without setting it? 5. I love looking in your windows. I’m looking for signs that you’re home, and for flat screen TVs or gaming systems I’d like. I’ll drive or walk through your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds, just to pick my targets. 6. Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook page. It’s easier than you think to look up your address. 7. To you, leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air. To me, it’s an invitation. 8. If you don’t answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in.

Murdered..Cont.from pg 1 of age at the time of the murders, seven months shy of legal age to be held responsible as an adult under Texas law. Rather than booking him into the Brazoria County Jail he was placed in juvenile detention, Wingo said. The unsigned statement given by Thomas shortly after his arrest stated that his mother had picked him up at the trade school on January 11, 1980, and when his father came home from work that evening, “He was gripey because he had just had a tooth pulled.” According to his statement, he had asked for some money, but his mother would give him only a dollar. She had been paying bills, and took her purse and put it away in the bedroom, then went into the living room and sat in a recliner while his father slept on the couch, Thomas said. He told officers that about 7:30 in the evening he went into the bedroom, where he found his father’s .44 Magnum pistol that his mother had hidden from him the previous night. The gun was loaded and he went into the living room and shot both of his parents three times each. He said he picked his mother up from the chair in the living room and put her on the bed, because the chair in which she had been sitting was in front of a window. He took the money his mother had set aside to pay bills and after wiping his fingerprints from everything he had touched, he took a change of clothes and drove the family’s car to a friend’s house. His clothes were bloody, and he told those at his friends’ house that it was from butchering a hog. In his statement to Wingo, Thomas said he returned to the house to make certain his parents’ bodies were where he had left them, and at that time doused them with kerosene from a lantern, and set them afire. Pretrial activities included examinations by two psychiatrists and two psychologists. Both determined Thomas was not mentally ill and that he could understand the case against him. They said he was “sophisticated and mature” enough to understand the difference between right and wrong and the nature of the charges against him. In certifying him as an adult note was made of the likelihood that he could not receive sufficient rehabilitation through “facilities, services and procedures” available in the juvenile judicial system to provide adequate protection of the public. One of the most unusual facets of the case came about during these examinations, when the psychiatrists/psychologists revealed to Thomas for the first time that the couple who had reared him were not his blood parents, but actually were his aunt and uncle. In response to a motion by the defense urging dismissal of Thomas’s confession, the Court of Criminal Appeals held on March 30, 1980, that his confession was voluntary. On April 10, 1980 the Brazoria County Grand Jury indicted Thomas for two counts of murder. On June 25, John Davis withdrew as defense counsel and the Court appointed Sam Bass Jr. to replace him. Thomas entered a not guilty plea and a jury was selected on September 22, 1980. On September 23rd, after motions were heard, Thomas changed his plea to guilty in the murder of his foster father, in exchange for reduction of that charge to voluntary manslaughter, a second degree felony, as well as dismissal of the charge of murdering his foster mother. Physical evidence in the case included the defendant’s bloody clothes which were retrieved from his friends’ house; spent .44 caliber bullets taken from the scene; three spent .44 Magnum shell casings, also found at the scene; photos; bloody, black boots, taken from the Thomas; his unsigned confession; and $165 in cash. The Harris County Medical Examiner reported that both Randall Eugene and Wanda Baize were dead before their bodies were consumed by fire. Thomas was found guilty of the voluntary manslaughter of Randall Eugene Baize, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. During the trial, Brazosport Facts reporter Terry Donahue obtained an exclusive interview with a woman in the audience, who identified herself as Betty Baize, and said she was Thomas’s birth mother. She told the reporter that her son had not known this and believed that she was one of his aunts. She said she was raped when she was 15, and had become pregnant with Thomas from that incident. He had always believed the two victims were his parents, she said, adding that they had given Thomas “a lot of love” and “tried to raise him well.” In his written report about his questioning of Thomas, Wingo wrote, “I asked Thomas if his [foster] parents said anything when he shot them,” and he said his father did. Wingo then asked what Baize had said. Thomas first replied, “It doesn’t matter any more.” When Wingo told the youth he was “just curious,” Thomas replied that his father had said, “I love you, Tommy. Please help me.” Thomas Joel Baize was sentenced to 20 years for voluntary manslaughter. He was received in the Texas prison system on September 25, 1980 and released on mandatory supervision on April 6, 1987. He remained under supervision until July 26, 2000, at which time his sentence expired. Baize actually spent seven years in prison for the cold blooded murder of two people who he beleived were his parents all his life. Happy Birthday Police News By Breck Porter This issue of The Police News is our 72nd edition and marks our sixth anniversary of publication. The Police News began in February, 2004 as the Galveston Police News and was published by the Galveston Municipal Police Association. Our first issue was eight pages of an all black and white paper. We printed 5,000 copies and spread them out over Galveston Island in stores and businesses that would allow us to. That first issue was an instant hit so we upped our numbers to 7,500 the next month. They disappeared equally as quick as the first issue. In 2004 the GMPA was under the leadership of Officer John Bertolino. He and the directors of that time were a very progressive bunch. They never sat on their laurel, as the saying Breck Porter, Editor/Publisher goes, and Bertolino was frequently seen on the municipal TV channel discussing one issue or another with the city council having to do with the officers he represented. Bertolino was backed by an equally progressive Board of Directors, namely Vice-President Joe Pena, Treasurer Doug Balli, Secretary John Courtney, and representatives of the various police divisions; Louis Trochesset, Sammy Parks, Gordon Pean, John Owens and Jeff Heyse. When the first issue hit the streets it was called “On Patrol” a name given it by Louis Trochesset. It quickly became known by the reading public as ‘that Galveston police newspaper’ so we changed it to “Galveston Police News.” As it spread throughout the county and into other counties the named changed several times until we finally gave it the generic name “The Police News” and it has remained that ever since. Shortly after moving to Galveston I became friends with Bertolino and that lead to friendships with others in the GMPA. At the time I was managing websites for police organizations and working on the newspaper of the Houston Police Retired Officers Association. Several members of the GMPA, after seeing The Retired Badge, the HPROA paper I worked on, thought it may be a wise idea for the GMPA to publish its own paper as a means of getting it’s message to the citizens of Galveston. The GMPA was of the opinion its officers performed many public service functions and did many good things which the local press would overlook or ignore. So, The Galveston Police News took off the GMPA hired me as its managing editor. Many unforeseen things happened to change the course of The Galveston Police News. One of those things was it’s rapid growth and the demand for it off the island. Many officers lived on the mainland and took papers home with them to their friends and relatives. As those papers circulated around, the general public began calling for them. Police agencies on the mainland began sending articles and stories for us to publish and soon the paper became the Galveston County Police News and it grew to include stories from and about every law enforcement agency in the county. Some members of the GMPA felt the growth was good, others wanted to keep it local so it would be easier to manage and have more impact for the GMPA. That was a hot topic of discussion when the GMPA held its election of officers and Bertolino decided to retire as it’s President. The new administration was not as enthusiastic about the paper as Bertolino had been and displayed no interest at all in it and there was talk about suspending publication completely. As those discussions were ongoing Hurricane Katrina and Rita took over national headlines. One more issue was published reporting on the work Galveston officers did in response to the two destructive hurricanes, then the GMPA decided to let the paper die. Of course I was disappointed at the decision because I envisioned a great potential in the paper. The GMPA actually just abandoned the paper completely without looking back, so I waited for 60 days to see if they would change their minds, but they didn’t, so I went to press with it as a privately owned, monthly police news publication. Every advertiser agreed to stay onboard and some of them still appear in our paper every month. Birthday..Cont. on pg 11 The Police News - Page Galveston Hummer limos 409-771-9980 Cheaper than a DWI!

(Photo by Jennifer Reynolds, The Daily News) Profile of a Baby Killer By Breck Porter What kind of person would roll a 4-year old little boy up in bed sheets, stuff socks in his mouth, and stuff him in a so-called hope chest, more like a footlocker, and leave him there until he dies of suffocation? What kind of man and woman would get screwed up on methamphetamines and engage in sex acts with each other starting on the kitchen bar and moving all through the apartment while the boy is dying in the footlocker and his little sister is in a bedroom with the door closed? James Daniel Gray and Barbara Ann Bawarsky are the type and that's what they were doing three days before Christmas in 2005 when her grandson, Kraig Jenkins, took his last breath in that footlocker. This woman had custody of the two children because her daughter was a junky and an unfit mother. Bawarsky had been married to Gray at one time and they still got together for drugs and sex and murder. Bawarsky made a deal with the DA in Galveston to roll over on Gray in return for a 45-year prison sentence. "Stand By Your Man" doesn't apply when you're facing lifewithout-parole. She testified against him in his January trial and the 10-woman, 2-man jury gave him the max, life without parole. Who was James Daniel Gray before he became a baby killer? He was the same guy who had at least nine criminal convictions already to his credit. The jury didn't get to hear about that, but it didn't matter. His wrap sheet included arrests in San Marcos, San Antonio, LaGrange, and Austin, for such things as Aggravated Assault, Drug Possession, Manufacturing and Delivering Drugs, Possession of Marijuana, DWI, and Aggravated Assault Against a Public Servant. Bawarsky's greatest crime was hooking up with Gray and allowing the murder of her own grandson while she rolled around on the floor with Gray while a pan of Meth was cooking in the kitchen.

(Photo by Jennifer Reynolds, The Daily News) The Skeleton By Ed Gooding As told to Robert Nieman Every investigator worth his salt wants to solve every crime that he is associated with. I promise you I was no exception. Regretfully, though, if you work long enough, you won't solve them all. Unfortunately, I was not an exception to that rule either. One of the most frustrating cases I ever been involved in was a murdered soldier from Fort Hood. On March 12, 1979, Amy Teresa Morio of Killeen was riding her horse when she came upon the remains of what appeared to be a man. She called John Foster who lived in a nearby house and he in turn called the Bell County Sheriff's Office. A little after one o'clock that afternoon I arrived at the scene with my number-one running buddy, Bill Miller of the Bell County CID Office. What we found wasn't a body but a skelton. Thee was no skin on the legs, arms, or head. What little flesh was left on the torse was drawn up and discolored so badly we couldn't be sure if the body was a man or woman, black or white. About twenty feet away we found human teeth and a body impression. Obviously varmits had recently dragged the body to its present location. The skeleton had on what appeared to be a white T-shirt with the words "Riverside Trojans" on it, white work pants, white or light-blue tennis shoes, and athletic socks. The only other thing we found on the remains was a small chain around the neck with a key attached to it. The key was stamped with 34010-4 and directly under those numbers, 316. After Justice of the Peace Madge Turland held her inquest and officially pronounced the body dead, she ordered it sent to the Southwest Forensic Institute lab in Dallas for an autopsy. Working on the assumption that the body was that of a soldier, we searched the surrounding area with a metal detector. We were trying to find dog tags for identification, but none were found. As was standard procedure in cases like this, I talked with everyone who lived in the area hoping they might know something they were not even aware of. Nothing proved any positive results. This case, as much as any I had ever worked, showed just how far people would go to 'not get involved.' The area where the body was found was in an open space covered with short grass; there wasn't any brush near it. There were numerous tire tracks coming from Love Lane to within a few feet of the body. The corpse was only one hundred yards from the home of a man who worked at the Darnell Army Hospital. When asked if he hadn't smelled the decaying body, he replied that about two months earlier he had smelled something, but he was unable to determine exactly where it was coming from. He even told us his dog had come home once, smelling so bad several baths didn't wash it off. The man said he thought the dog had found a dead cow. Ed Gooding After leaving the crime scene, I contacted Fort Hood's CID officer, Agent Alexander, and asked if he could shed any light on the key we had found with the skelton. He said the number 340104 and 316 indicated Building 34010, Wing 4, Room 316. He assured me he would check it out and get back to me as soon as he knew anything. It wasn't long before he called back and advised me that Dexter Johnson, 21, had been living in this room and had been listed as AWOL since October 3, 1978. I requested Agent Alexander to try and secure Johnson's dental records. They were soon delivered to us and a positive identification was made. The next day, Bell County Deputy Birt Wilkerson went to Fort Hood to talk to people who were close to Johnson. John Turman said that the last time he saw Dexter Johnson he was wearing white medic pants and a gray T-shirt with the words "Riverside Trojans" on it. He explained that Riverside High School in Chattanooga, Tennessee was Johnson's alma mater. Johnson had been a member of Company B, 15th Medical Battalion, 1st Calvary Division. We asked the commander, Captain Astriab, if he could shed any light on Johnson's disappearance. He couldn't directly, but he checked company records and provided us with the names of two men who had signed the guest book to visit Johnson on the night of his disappearance. The two men had been in the Army but had since been discharged. One was from Portland, Oregon and the other from Henderson, Texas. We checked the telephone records in an attempt to find out if either man was still in the area, but without success. I had my good friend and fellow Ranger in Longview, Glenn Elliott, check out the Hnderson area to see if he could get a lead. Glenn confirmed that one of our suspects lived in Henderson and was currently working in Tyler. That same morning, Deputy Steve Moore, who had accompanied the body to Dallas, was contacted by the Dallas Forensic Institure. They advised him that during the autopsy they discovered an identification card in the pants pocket identifying him as Dexter Johnson. Dr. DeMaio, the pathologist, informed Steve that possibly Johnson had been dead since October or November. Cold weather tends to dry out and mummify a body. While Birt and I were at Fort Hood, we continued to interview Johnson's friends. Derrick Garrett said on the night Johnson disappeared, he had ironed and laid out his fatigues he would wear the next day. Johnson was a dandy when it came to clothes. He was a male model wherever there was a style show at Fort Hood. Continuing, Garrest said that another soldier, Carl Thomas, told him that he saw Johnson get into a car with two unknown men about the time he disappeared. Further questioning revealed that Maddox Thompson had been in the room with Johnson the night before his disappearance. Two unknown men had entered the room and asked Johnson if he wanted to take a ride. Thompson confirmed he had also seen Johnson with the two men the following night. He said Johnson did not appear to dislike the military and never gave any indication that he ever considered deserting. We continue with the investigation with few concrete leads that would lead to an arrest. On March 21st, Dr. DeMaio advised us that he had been able to take the madly shrunken skin from the chest and wet it in some kind of solution for several days. The solution had given it some elasticity, so he was able to stretch it and work with it enough to count several stab wounds. There were over sixty icepick marks in the chest when he stopped counting. This fit a definite patten. According to what we were taught in crime school, a body with that many stabbings, cuts, and exess mutilation was usually an indication of a sex crime - more often than not, a homosexual murder. Unfortunately, that was as far as we ever got. There was never any doubt in my mind that the men from Henderson and Portland were the killers, but I couldn't prove it. I had to mark this homicide up as an unsolved murder. From the book, "Ed Gooding, Soldier, Texas Ranger" by Ed Gooding and Robert Nieman published by Ranger Publising Co.

He was the product of the genetic and social cesspool on Houston 's northeast side known as Kelly courts. "Kelly Coats" is a run down old red brick government housing project located in Northeast Houston. As horrible a place as it is, Kelly Courts is never likely to pull down the property values in the rest of the neighborhood. One old street cop who did a tour in Vietnam during the 1969 Tet Offensive explained it like this, "To clean out Kelly Courts you're gonna have to drop two rows of napalm. The first will get the two legged rodents. The second strike will be for the roaches." A garden spot of humanity it ain't. During his first 19 years on earth Little Rodney had several brushes with the law. He had seen the inside of the Harris County Jail three times since his 17th birthday. He's also visited the City of Houston Jail a couple of more times than that. Growing up in "Kelly Coats" you learn early on how to spot both marked and unmarked police cars. In the hood, cars with black wall tires and garbage can lids for hubcaps driver by guys in cheap suits are cop cars. Rodney however, had never heard of an Arson Investigator. In the great State of Texas, Arson Investigators are certified peace officers. They investigate arson related crimes, draw up warrants, arrest crooks and put them in prison. Rodney was walking down Jensen Driver when three guys pulled up alongside him in an unmarked police car. They jumped out and pointed guns at him. He was also given the official Houston Police Department execution of a felony warrant greeting of "Freeze #@%!#." Young Mister Williams was cuffed and stuffed into the back seat of their unmarked city car. Their captive was next treated to a ride into downtown Houston at the taxpayer’s expense. When he inquired as to the reason for his detention he was told to shut up and that everything would be explained to him when they got to "The Office." When his captors pulled into the Fire Command Building he became concerned. While being escorted into the building Rodney inquired "What we doin' here? This ain't no Poe-lease station." Once inside he was informed by an investigator named Faulks that he was in the Arson Bureau. Rodney exclaimed, "Arsenic, Arsenic, I doesn't know nothin' bout no Arsenic." He went on to ask, "Just what is Arsenic anyway, and how much time can you get for it?" The answer came back "Arson is the intentional setting of a fire - and you can get anywhere between two and twenty years for it." This really peaked Rodneys interest and he further inquired, "How come da' difference in da' number of years?" His captors explained (lied) that it all depended if it was a new or old house that got burned up. Little Rodney literally beamed as he proudly exclaimed, "Oh man, that was the oldest motherf---ing house you ever did see." Rodney Williams would later be identified and charged in several murders and armed robberies. He ultimately pled guilty to five life sentences rather than face the chance of getting the death penalty for robbery-homicide. Rodney had been running with a little group of thugs that were feeding off of their own violence. They started out with assaults and strong arm robberies and moved up to armed robberies. If a group of this sort is not jailed pretty quickly they become frenzied in trying to out do one another with violence and bravado. A bit of street corner psychology can let you understand how the Urban Predator acts. Once a group of young street animals get into committing violent armed robberies they will start shooting and killing people. The crimes continue to get worse and needlessly more violent as they attempt to outdo one another. The term that relates best to this sort of behavior is "Pack Frenzy." This phrase is generally used to describe animal behavior. There again, street vermin give animals with fur, claws or feathers a bad name. A Blue Tick hound by himself is a laid back and very easy going sort of animal. He would normally have to speed up in order to slow down. Alone he is generally not aggressive toward other animals. Put three Blue Ticks together in a pack and they will run down and shred a bobcat, a very substantial foe. Little Rodney could not win a fair fist fight with a healthy fourteen year old. He and his friend however, could gut and shoot you and watch you bleed to death in the gutter with seemingly detached interest.

Since that time The Police News has been in news racks and on countertops throughout several counties. It has never missed a print schedule, even during Hurricane Ike. Hundreds of papers are mailed each month to law enforcement agencies across the state and many readers all across the country get it by first class mail subscription. Several years ago The Police News found its way into the Texas Prison System. Before we knew it, prison inmates were subscribing and prison officials were asking that papers be sent to the various prison units for prison employees. Each month we package copies of The Police News and ship them to prison units in several locations across the state. And so, on the occasion of our 6th anniversary we thank those advertisers who have supported The Police News. It is completely because of them that thousand of readers get this free paper every month. And we thank those of you who pick us up from our news racks and write us and email us and call us to let us know how much you enjoy and appreciate the work we do. And we especially want to thank that small group of Galveston police officers who six years ago had the vision and foresight and the inspiration to give birth to the first and only police newspa- per published anywhere in the country for distribution to the public which it served. As a footnote you may be interested to know where those founding officers are today. John Bertolino retired from the Galveston Police Department after nearly 25 years but is still employed by the City of Galveston as its taxi and wrecker inspector. Joe Pena is now a Captain and commander of the uniformed services division. Doug Balli retired as a Sergeant but later returned to the department and is still serving. John Courtney went on military leave and served in Iraq as a Navy medic and is back as a Sergeant and commander of the Special Operations Group. Louis Trochesset retired from the department and became employed with the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office and is assigned to the School Liaison Division at Westbrook Intermediate School in Friendswood. Sammy Parks left the police department for employment as a Special Agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration and last we heard he was somewhere on the west coast. Gordon Pean is still serving the department as a motorcycle officer in the Traffic Enforcement Division. John Owens was promoted to Sergeant and is serving as a Detective in the Criminal Investigation Division and Jeff Heyse was promoted to Lieutenant and most recently to Captain and is commanding the Criminal Investigation Division and is the designated official spokesman for the police department. Happy Birthday To Us! And thank you all. Riding The Lightening By Matt Stokes I went through Taser training recently I have to admit, all of the negative and I faced the dilemma of deciding hype started weighing heavily on my whether or not I would voluntarily take mind. The thought of five seconds of a 5-second exposure. When I originally pain did not seem as big a deterrent as a heard we were getting Taser X-26’s, I month of chronic neck pain. One of my immediately told myself that I would good friends was scheduled to go to the take a hit. However, after a few months class with me and he was determined to of officers going through take a hit, which left me the training, I was bomopen to heavy ridicule if I barded with stories of neck wimped out. and back injuries resulting When class got underfrom the exposures. Offiway, we received a brief cers that I respected were description of the technitelling me that I would cal specifications on the be crazy to volunteer afTaser X-26 and an explater they suffered weeks nation of how conducof neck or back pain.

Matt Stokes heard numerous stories We were assured that the about how the pain was weapon was relatively excruciating and served no practical safe and then we were quickly ushered purpose. After all, we are not required to the mat room for our voluntary expoto be shot with a .40 pistol before we qualify with it. Lightening..Cont. on pg 12 The Police News - Page 11 Lightening..Cont. from pg 11 sures. Of the 14 students going through that day’s training, 11 of them quickly made it clear they had no intention of participating in this portion of class. One of our senior traffic officers could not wait to experience it, which left him, my good friend and myself. As a supervisor, I decided that it was more important to lead by example and risk some aches and pains than it was to join the large group of wussies standing off to the side watching. I have to admit that I had some anxiety as I stepped up on the mat for my turn. The instructor offered no small talk and within a few seconds of turning my back to him I felt the impact of the Taser. It is hard to explain the feeling, but I would liken it to an intense full body muscle cramp. It was not as painful as I imagined it would be, but I was completely immobilized for the complete 5-second cycle. As soon as the Taser finished the cycle, I felt like I could immediately begin fighting. During the 5-second hit, I was completely aware of my surroundings and could hear everything that was happening. It is important to note that the suspect will be able to do the same thing. The only side effect that I experienced was very sore calf muscles. It felt like I had suffered several severe calf cramps and the muscles were spent. Later that night, the probe impact sites were a little sore, but that was it. No neck pain, no back pain. The experience was very job relevant and it will give me additional credibility in court. I am intimately aware of how a person should react when they are hit with the Taser, so I will quickly figure out if I do not have a successful deployment. I would have no problem justifying why I felt justified in shooting a person attempting to fire a Taser at me. Most importantly, guys will not think that I was too afraid to take a hit. Let’s face it, we all profess to be warriors, so what is 5-seconds of pain? If I was told that I had to choose between being pepper sprayed or hit with a Taser again, I would definitely choose the Taser. After the 5-second cycle, it is over and you are pain free.

This was probably his first attempt, as suggested by his lack of a record of violent crime, and by his terminally stupid choice. 1) The target was H&J Leather and Firearms, a gun shop. 2) The shop was full of customers, in a state where a substantial fraction of the adult population is licensed to carry handguns in public places. 3) To enter the shop, he had to step around a marked King County Police patrol car parked at the front door. 4) An officer in uniform was standing next to the counter, having coffee before reporting to duty. 5) Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a holdup and fired a few wild shots. 6) The officer and the clerk promptly returned fire, quickly removing the wouldbe robber from the gene pool. 7) Several other customers also drew their guns, but didn’t fire. No one else was hurt. The Police News - Page 13 30 YEARS IN BUSINESS AND SUPPORTING LAW ENFORCEMENT 99 $ Total Move-In* * Includes One Month Rent FREE!
