Force Used in Arrest of Uncooperative Juvenile

By Mary O’KEEFE

A juvenile was arrested this afternoon after he refused to follow instructions from a deputy.

“There was a silent alarm at the Citibank [in the 2600 block of Foothill Boulevard in the afternoon]. While deputies were handling those calls for service a juvenile was not cooperating with commands,” said Lt. Sauter, LASD, CV Sheriffs Station.

Deputies were following up on the silent alarm; the bank was in lock down at the time.

The juvenile was making it impossible for the deputies to do their job, Sauter said.

“During the arrest force was used,” he said.

The juvenile will go through the booking process and is expected to be released to his parents.

“It’s unfortunate it came to this,” Sauter added.
