Taser Fight in Woods After Fake Tag Stop
16 Jun
Summary
- Suspect fought officer for Taser during woodland pursuit.
- Traffic stop began with a fake paper tag.
- Suspect faces 11 charges including false imprisonment.
A routine traffic stop for a fraudulent paper tag quickly devolved into a violent encounter in Gwinnett County. The suspect, Edward Briones-Revolorio, fled from an officer on Reddington Lane, leading to a pursuit that ended when the officer rammed the suspect's vehicle.
During the subsequent foot chase into a wooded area, the suspect and officer engaged in a physical struggle, with the suspect attempting to seize the officer's Taser. Body camera footage captured the intense fight over the weapon.
The officer managed to subdue Briones-Revolorio, eventually disabling and discarding the Taser to end the immediate threat. The 28-year-old suspect now faces 11 charges, including false imprisonment and forgery. He is being held without bond.
