A San Diego police officer used a Taser to restrain a 14-year-old student at Correia Middle School on Feb. 15, after the boy became physically aggressive during an arrest on suspicion of felony grand theft, said police officials. The boy was being questioned in the school’s library that morning by two campus security officers, two San Diego police officers and the school’s vice principal in connection with the theft of 20 school-owned iPods, valued at $5,000. After the unidentified student produced two of the iPods in question, officers moved in for the arrest. The boy then became violent, assaulting one of the officers, according to officials. “The suspect refused to get handcuffed and became assaultive,” said SDPD Capt. Walt Vasquez during a press conference following the incident. “Initially, the suspect was Tased by the officer and it was effective, but the suspect took the barbs out physically with his own hands, removed the barbs of the Taser that were connected, and was Tased again.” The 5-foot, 10-inch, 150-pound boy injured two of the officers, one of whom was treated for knee injuries at a nearby hospital. The boy was also treated at Rady Children’s Hospital for wounds from the Taser barbs, but did not suffer any other injuries, according to police. “He did assault the officers, and at that point the officers have many different options available to them. One of the options is a Taser,” Vasquez said. The boy, whose name was not released because he is a minor, was booked into Juvenile Hall.
