Resisting arrest is virtually always a losing proposition but apparently two Sacramento men were either unaware of the odds or decided to defy them, according to crime reports released this week by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department.
On June 6 at a residence in the 2500 block of Gunn Road, a 5-foot-7-inch, 260-pound man, who also was "heavily intoxicated," threatened fire/medical personnel who were trying treat him after his sister hit him in the head. Deputies were called and he tried the same attitude, but this time was met with a shot from a stun gun, which didn't stop him.
He ended up in a struggle with a deputy until a second stun-gun shot convinced him to give up and go to jail.
On June 6 at a motel room in the 4600 block of Watt Avenue, deputies called to check on the welfare of a man in a room were met with violence by the 29-year-old occupant of the room. The man first threw a chair at deputies and missed and then flung the TV remote at the officers. He followed with kicks and punches, but deputies finally got him into handcuffs and a ride downtown.
