Bodycam Video Shows Assault On Officer, Man Tasered

** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) **
The Centerville Police Department released bodycam footage that shows a man, which police say is Jacob James Myers, 30, of Centerville, assaulting a Centerville police officer in the snow-covered streets of South Main.

The officer was responding to a suspicious person call in the area of Main and Wall Streets in Centerville, which came into the Centerville Law Center at approximately 12:56 a.m. Wednesday.

Body camera footage shows the officer arriving to the scene and exiting his vehicle, where Myers began charging at the officer with an unknown weapon in his hand.

The officer deployed his taser, but Myers continued to advance towards the officer. On the video released, Myers can be heard shouting “I’m going to [obscenity] kill you, I’m going to kill you [obscenity].”

The assault continued on Main Street for nearly two minutes before the officer was able to pin Myers to the ground. During the altercation, the officer also struck Myers at least twice with a baton, according to a press release from the Centerville Police Department.

After another officer arrived on scene, the video showed several other taser deployments before officers were able to put Myers into custody.

Myers was transported to Mercy Medical Center for examination and treatment of injuries. A press release from the Centerville Police Department says he was then transported to the Appanoose County Jail, where he is being held on a cash only bond.

    Crazy ducker is lucky to be alive. Late at night, all alone, some dude coming after you saying he's going to kill you, this after getting up after being tazed. If I was the officer I would have drawn my weapon. Again, dude is lucky to be alive.
