April 12, 2010 Security officer justified in shooting man www.privateofficer.com
Police said the man attempted to run his sport utility vehicle over the security guard — a moment the security guard captured with a video camera he was wearing, according to a police report.
A large outdoor party was taking place at the Hoover Avenue apartment complex at about 8:30 p.m., when two vehicles drove through the area at high speed, according to Dayton police Lt. Brian Johns.
Johns said two Ranger security guards told the vehicles to stop, but the second vehicle, a large white SUV, drove into the grass at the officer. The man fired three shots and the vehicle fled the scene.
About 30 minutes later, a man arrived at Grandview hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg that was not life-threatening, and Johns said police had reason to believe he had been in the SUV.
Officers arrested Robert Brookshire, 18, and Allen Weaver each on a felonious assault charge after the two men showed up at Grandview Medical Center about 20 minutes later, according to a police report. Weaver was shot in the hand and underwent surgery to repair the wound, the report stated. Brookshire was not injured.
Weaver later admitted he was behind the wheel of the SUV when he tried to flee from security guard Gavin Bair, the report stated. He only admitted to driving after officers told him he was captured on a camera Bair was wearing on his uniform that captured video of the incident, the report stated.
Weaver told officers he was scared Bair, 27, of West Carrollton, was going to ticket him and that’s why he fled, the report stated. Officers said, after viewing the video, Bair had no other choice but to fire at the SUV, the report stated.
