- All right, guys.
It looks like Gilbert PD is out with a male who
is running from PD.
It looks like he has been pepper sprayed.
And I can tell you, it can be pretty difficult
for us to treat a patient that's been pepper sprayed.
Having that pepper spray off-gassing
can be pretty irritating just for us being around him.
[dog barking]
- [inaudible] put in a [inaudible] solution on his
hands.
- [inaudible] he's complaining of it.
- We got a report of a male subject shoplifting.
Officer Thomas was the first to arrive.
And I guess he didn't want to stop for him when he called out
to him, so he ended up having to chase him,
ended up in this parking lot.
We had a lot of officers coming over here trying to find him.
Luckily, the Mesa Air Unit was able to put a spotlight on him,
able to take him into custody.
He ended up getting OC'd, though, which is pepper spray.
- Hey, partner, we're going to have you sit up.
- All right, ready?
- Lean forward and get into your--
there you go, criss-cross applesauce.
- Here we go, man.
We're going to give you a little lift,
and that's going to get your knees underneath.
Are you ready? 1, 2, 3.
- Whoop. Stay down on your knees, bud.
- OK, this didn't work.
- You OK with him standing? - Yeah, he's all right.
- OK.
- So tilt your head over. Bend your head--
- Tilt your head over, and tilt your head to your left.
No, your other left.
There you go.
All right, we're going to do your left eye.
Stop moving around.
Open up your eye.
There you go.
- Oh.
- No, don't move it.
- OK, hold on.
- You've got to keep continuous water and just wash it.
- Keep your eyes open.
You ready?
- [moaning]
- You've got to keep blinking.
- You've just got to keep blinking.
It's going to hurt a little bit.
- [moaning]
- Hold still.
- [moaning]
- Hold still.
I don't want to bump you in the eye.
- [moaning]
- OK, here, let's try the other side.
Ready? - Oh, yeah.
- Tilt over.
Don't move around.
Open, open.
You're doing good.
- That's the only thing that's going to help you.
So you can either work through this--
- You've just got to flush it.
- --or you can [inaudible] it.
You decide.
- OK.
Let me know when you're ready.
OK.
- There you go.
- No.
Hey, listen, bud.
This part's important, OK?
Don't shake around like that because when you do that,
you start flinging that on us.
- If you do anything, you bend forward.
- OK?
- That's going to create a bad situation.
- I don't feel like having pepper spray in my eyes.
- Yeah, listen, if you can't-- if you can't control,
then we're going to stop doing all this.
Do you understand?
You've got to stop.
You've got to stay in control.
Yeah, go ahead and look.
Ready?
No, I can't wipe them.
Right now, the best thing is just to keep flushing it.
Stop dancing around.
- [moaning]
- Which one?
- Don't shake your head.
- You bend forward.
Bend forward. There you go.
- There you go.
He got pepper sprayed.
So with that, every time you try and wipe it or aggressively try
and clean out his eyes, it's going to basically reactivate
the pepper spray.
So in that situation, every time he was rubbing his eyes,
it was burning.
The best thing you can do is just copious amounts of water
and just kind of rinse it clean.
It's temporary relief.
The more times that we wash it out, the better it is for him.
- Open both of your eyes.
Open them both.
- Ready?
- Open them both.
Open them up, real wide.
- [moaning]
- As hard as you can, man.
- Keep them open.
- There you go.
Bend over.
- There you go.
- All right, one more time.
All right, three more times. Ready?
Bend over.
- Lean forward, get them both. - Ready?
- Lean forward. - Count of three--
1, 2, 3, go.
Bend over and open those eyes up.
You've got this.
You've got this. You've got this.
You're doing great.
- Don't fling it.
- That's as good as it's going to get, buddy.
- It's very irritating.
It can be painful in that sense.
But it's not anything that's life-threatening or anything.
You guys good? - Yeah.
- All right, man.
Good luck to you, bud.
He seems like he's doing all right now.
So he's able to at least look around and notice everything
that's happening around him, so that's a good thing.
- So right now, charges are going to be pending.
It looks like it's probably going to be shoplifting, maybe
strong armed robbery, and failure to obey a police
officer.
Now I'm going to transport him to our jail.
