When deputies arrived, they obtained a key and began searching the large building. After clearing the lobby, deputies started clearing individual theaters. They found the suspect behind the first door. The suspect refused to comply with deputies’ commands and was warned several times that he would be tased. A deputy deployed his taser, but it had no effect. The suspect then began telling deputies to shoot him. Eventually, he surrendered and was taken into custody. Deputies examined the taser probes and determined that the suspect’s thick shirt prevented the probes from reaching the skin. Other deputies responded and finished clearing the entire building.
