Man Arrested in Spring Valley After Attempting to Remove Officer’s Taser

By Yisroel R.

A man was arrested in Spring Valley after a Rockland County Sheriff’s patrol vehicle was flagged down by a woman who reported she had just been attacked while waiting for a bus.

As the deputy stepped out of his vehicle to investigate the incident, the man became aggressive and confrontational and attempted to reach for the officer’s Taser, leading to a physical struggle.

The deputy was able to regain control and take the suspect into custody at the scene. No injuries were reported.

The suspect, a 34-year-old Pomona resident, was later arraigned in Spring Valley Justice Court and remanded to the Rockland County Jail pending further proceedings.
