Screen Shot from Arkansas State Police Video
In the July 27 video Trooper Alexandria Duncan chases down a vehicle driven by Angel Zapet-Alvarsado, pulls him over, and attempts to arrest him.
The trooper used her Taser on the man multiple times on the man, trying to get him to comply.
Police say, Zapet-Alvarado wrestled the Trooper’s Taser from her hands and threw it into interstate traffic. During the incident, Zapet-Alvarado also kicked Trooper Duncan’s head multiple times.
Kylie Sutton, 31, of Rogers witnessed the attack and tried to assist Trooper Duncan. The Trooper used her service weapon to fire one round at Zapet-Alvarado, wounding him in the right temple. He continued to resist arrest and refused Trooper Duncan’s instructions to get on the ground.
Zapet-Alvarado was transported to a hospital, where he was treated and released to law enforcement. Toxicology results indicate his blood-alcohol was .16 and that cannabinoids were present. He was transported to the Benton County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center, where he remains. He was placed on hold for Homeland Security Investigation (HSI).
Benton County Prosecutor Joshua Robinson announced Thursday Sept. 18 that Trooper Duncan’s use of deadly force was consistent with Arkansas law.
