Vancouver, Washington — On May 21, 2023, two Vancouver Police officers, Officer Gabriel Patterson and Officer Andrea Mendoza responded to a call from a Walmart loss prevention employee who was requesting law enforcement trespass two individuals who they had seen conceal merchandise and leave the store without an attempt to pay for the items. Two arriving VPD officers located the subjects matching the description in the parking lot, made verbal contact with them and informed them they were not free to leave. The male subject, identified as 19-year-old Elijah Guffey-Prejean took several steps away and Officer Patterson grabbed the subject’s arm to prevent him from fleeing. The female subject took off running and was not located.
The two VPD officers were able to get Guffey-Prejean to the ground however, before he could be handcuffed, he jumped up, punched one of the officers in the face and kicked the other officer in the chest. Both officers began struggling with him to gain control. Officer Mendoza deployed a Taser to Guffey-Prejean’s back to gain compliance, which was not effective enough to get him handcuffed. During the struggle, Officer Mendoza exposed the Guffey-Prejean’s genital area and threatened to activate the Taser if he did not stop resisting. He then complied and was able to be handcuffed. He was provided medical aid at the scene and was subsequently transported to the hospital for additional evaluation before being booked into the Clark County Jail for Assault III and Theft III.
The incident was recorded on the body cameras of both officers and security footage from Wal Mart’s camera. The reports and body camera footage were appropriately filed by the responding officers, in compliance with department protocols. Based on the supervisor’s review, this incident was brought to the attention of the office of the chief on May 24 and Officer Mendoza who deployed the Taser was immediately placed on administrative leave. The case was referred to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office on May 24 for independent investigation. Additionally, an internal VPD investigation was also opened. The Clark County Sheriff’s Office investigation was completed on July 20 and forwarded to the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for review. On July 25, the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office filed Assault IV charges on Officer Mendoza that deployed the Taser.

Vulgar and unprofessional. Fire her ass.
That's Police Brutality..
Good for her!!!
Uncalled for that's abusive
Cum on!,,,, Thats is so silly she was let go for threatening to taze someone on the testicles.
“I can’t breathe!â€
So very tired of hearing this. Especially, when they have the oxygen to fight back, trying to run, and resisting the whole time. Yeah, I’m sure that takes the breath out of anyone, but when you can clearly yell, and complain about everything. Breathing is not an issue. Ever.
On July 25, the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office filed Assault IV charges on Officer Mendoza that deployed the Taser. So the female officer had assault charges filed against her for having to fight with a knucklehead and they wonder why people are not wanting to be cops . I hope the city burns down during the next mainly peaceful protests .
DA needs to be charged with aiding and abetting these criminals
These people love saying that phrase.
Tase his gonads! Shame on you. 🤣🤣
The DA is charging the female cop for that!? She deserves a medal, not a criminal charge. That DA is a piece of shit.
They made that theifing African an overnight millionaire
I hope I'm not going to hell for laughing at this! She didn't actually do it but the threat stopped him pretty doggone quick! 🤣
For the record, it's the current that cooks your hot dog not the voltage.
Hahahahaha. It worked though.
Another scumbag officer.
Did I really just hear him say "I can't breath"
Gotta admit that she got immediate compliance. We’ve gotten too soft and predictable towards criminals which emboldens their lack of respect to officers, not the other way around like the liberal media claims
I was happy the way the female handled her business until I read the description. On July 25, the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office filed Assault IV charges on Officer Mendoza that deployed the Taser.
🤬
I would love to see what the prosecuting attorney that charged her would do, if he/she were on the ground trying to take control of this POS!! Make it make sense!!🙄🙄
When the cops use lethal force, the morons be like "Why didn't you taser him?!"
When the cops use tasers, the morons now charge them with assault?
There's no winning with these mental invalids.
Then they choke him with his clothes. EMBARRASSING POLICE OFFICER
In typical Naker fashion they love to pop that Bussy until u threaten to taser the in it 😂😂😂
Cop punished for doing nothing wrong, I know how she feels🙊
Lmao
I don’t see anything wrong here; in fact I think they had the room to be far more aggressive; so I guess they should be applauded for their restraint.
The prosecutor needs to be investigated as a threat to public safety. Post his/her name, so people can protest back. Freedom of speech.
She needs to be FIRED😠and the cop that stood by and helped this sicko female cop
😂 she got assault charges!! Reason 228599 for women not doing a mans job.
Haha, too bad she didn't.
Police officers have emotions just like everyone else. She reacted the way she saw fit, and I think it's justified. 💙
Her partner 👀
This dirtbag felon punches a female officer in the face and kicks a male officer in the chest while resisting detainment for theft, and the female officer gets Assault IV charges filed against her? WTF? This country is so broken.
I bet thats not in their policy manual.
