疯客直播 Fe police used rubber bullets, a stun gun and a police dog Wednesday night against a man accused of pointing a fake handgun at another man while naked from the waist down.
Police allege David Gebhardt, 59, was resisting officers when they used 鈥渓ess-lethal force鈥 against him.
Gebhardt faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and resisting officers, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday in 疯客直播 Fe County Magistrate Court.
The incident unfolded around 9 p.m. Wednesday in a hotel parking lot at Cerrillos Road and Rodeo Road. An officer was pumping gas across the street from a Doubletree hotel when a man approached him and told him another man had pointed a gun at him in the hotel鈥檚 parking lot, police wrote in a statement of probable cause.
The officer saw a man, later identified as Gebhardt, who was 鈥渨earing a short red cropped shirt who was otherwise completely naked and exposing his genitalia,鈥 holding what appeared to be a handgun and trying to climb over a wall that separated the hotel from a Dollar Tree store, the statement says.
The man got into a car and drove it across the hotel鈥檚 parking lot, but it became stuck or crashed near a wall, the officer wrote.
鈥淏ased off the totality of the circumstances at that time in which the male suspect was believed to be armed and dangerous and was non-compliant and was resisting officers,鈥 police wrote, officers fired 鈥渓ess lethal munitions鈥 at the man, who was 鈥渦nfazed鈥 by them.
Another officer released a police dog, which bit Gebhardt and took him down to the ground, the statement says. Afterward, another officer used a stun gun on Gebhardt, who, police wrote, 鈥渨as not allowing officers to handcuff him.鈥
Gebhardt told police the handgun was a rubber replica he bought at a thrift store, police wrote. He admitted to officers he had pointed the fake gun at someone, according to the statement, but he said he did it 鈥渢o help them.鈥
He was arrested and booked into the 疯客直播 Fe County jail early Thursday.
He does not appear to have faced any other criminal charges in New Mexico in about a decade, an online court records database shows.
