WESTCHESTER (CBSLA) – Two Los Angeles police officers were injured when a man armed with a chain and padlock struck them repeatedly before being shot with a stun gun and taken into custody, police said Thursday.
Brandon Michael Wheeler, 24, is charged with two felony counts each of assault upon a peace officer or firefighter, battery with injury on a peace officer, battery with serious bodily injury and assault with a deadly weapon, along with one misdemeanor count each of indecent exposure and engaging in lewd conduct, Los Angeles Police Department Officer Tony Im said
When the two responding officers located the man, he “immediately charged at officers, swinging the chain and the padlock,” Im said. One officer shot the man with a taser, “which was ineffective,” Im said.
Commenters: "C'mon man! It's LA. He will be out on no bail and never prosecuted. Get with the program. No prosecutions in LA unless you go against the mayor or governor."
