(Kyrene Justice Court No. JC2006131746): Mr. V. was at Axis / Radius nightclub in Scottsdale when a fight broke out. As all parties were being escorted from the club, police claim that Mr. V. was seen shouting profanities and attempting to push his way towards others involved in the fight. He eventually used profanity towards the officers, and he was shot six to eight times with a pepper ball gun by police. He was then taken to the ground and handcuffed. We were able to show the prosecutor that Mr. V. was actually trying to protect his brother, who had been beaten up by other patrons, and he was acting reasonably in the situation. We also questioned the officers’ version of the facts. The prosecutor then dismissed all charges.
