   Description:
   Charlotte County, Florida — On Wednesday, October 23, 2024, at 12:15 p.m., Charlotte County Sheriff's dispatch received a call regarding a disturbance in the 2200 block of sandy pine drive in unincorporated Punta Gorda. The owner of the property, 42-year-old Elroy Clarke, called to report a tenant on his property was acting erratically. Two deputies arrived at the property and made contact with Clarke. He told deputies that his tenant was disturbing the peace. At this point, the deputies had not identified Clarke by name. Deputy #1 spoke with the tenant and others on the property. During the course of these conversations, deputy #1 obtained information that Clarke possibly had a warrant for his arrest. Deputy #1 asked deputy #2 to contact dispatch and inquire about the possible warrant. Deputies were able to confirm Clarke's identity by his photo and that he had an active warrant for his arrest. Deputy #1 requested that additional deputies respond to the scene in anticipation of detaining Clarke. When deputy #1 approached Clarke, he denied being Elroy Clarke and provided a false name. When advised he had a warrant, Clarke became agitated. Deputies gave Clarke multiple commands to put his hands behind his back, but he did not comply. Despite showing signs of agitation, Clarke said he was calm but that "It was not about to be."

   Deputy #1 advised Clarke that he would be tased if he failed to comply. After multiple warnings, deputy #1 deployed his taser but it had little effect. Deputy #1 then deployed pepper spray which also proved ineffective. Deputy #1 attempted to take Clarke to the ground, but Clarke remained on his feet and warned deputies that if they touched him "They were going to see something they don't want to see." over the next five minutes, deputies continued to give Clarke commands to get on the ground and put his hands behind his back. He did not comply. Clarke demanded that deputy #1 hit him with his baton and to shoot him so that "They could see." both deputies continued attempts to speak with Clarke and convince him to peacefully surrender. Deputy #3 arrived on the scene and exited his patrol vehicle. As deputy #3 approached, deputy #1 advised him that Clarke had been "Tased twice and been sprayed." deputy #3 deployed his taser, but Clarke remained standing. Deputy #1 pushed Clarke onto the ground. Deputy #3 used the taser in direct contact with Clarke in an effort to gain compliance so deputies could place him in handcuffs.

   Despite the use of a taser and baton, Clarke was able to break free of the three deputies and get back on his feet. Deputies continued to give him commands to get on the ground. Over the next eight minutes, deputies continued to give Clarke commands to get on the ground but he failed to comply. Deputy #1 retrieved a less lethal device that deploys bean bag rounds. Deputy #1 advised Clarke about the device and warned him that it would be used if he did not get on the ground. Deputy #1 deployed multiple bean bag rounds that struck Clarke, but it had little effect. After Clarke was struck with the final bean bag round, he charged at and made contact with deputy #3. Deputy #3 was holding his service weapon. Deputy #3 and deputy #1 discharged their service weapons, striking Clarke. Before the final bean bag deployment, deputy #3 drew his service weapon. Deputies provided medical aid, including the use of cpr, until the arrival of charlotte county fire paramedics. Clarke was pronounced deceased at the scene. One deputy suffered a head injury during the altercation with Clarke. He was treated and released from the hospital. No uninvolved people were injured in this incident.

2. If you don’t resist, you usually just get arrested. If them taking you in is illegal, then you’ll get paid.
   What is the point?

3. "i'Ve bEen hErE, pEaCefuLly, MaKiNg thInGs haPpEn iN mY wOrlD, in mY sPacE…" Dudes living in his own world for sure.

4. Was this a former football player? Dude was huge.

6. “I am the weapon.” Dude wasn’t foolin!

7. even if you change your name stupid is still stupid.

8. He is Ben Gay and (it's gonna get hot).

9. that’s some HappyTrigger activity

10. Why be a police officer if you didn’t want to shoot him he’s to big for them lil tasers

11. Unfortunately I feel this one is for the books of we need better mental health training within our pds. I love this channel and love our officers. This was hard to watch for many reasons

12. "I am the weapon" is crazy work lmfao

13. "I am the weapon." And that's when I knew he was nuts.

14. Its Florida stand your ground is in place, Officers don't have to retreat armed or not don't mater , another state would be Indigtment charges on the officer

15. What is up with these sissy cops?

16. Geez what a nut bar. He took Fla man to a whole new level.

17. This dude might actually be God. Insane. Or on drugs.

18. look at that property wtf does this suspect do !

19. His boi Elroi 🙁

20. Screw the people who are saying this was trauma acting for the trial. Look at these armchair warriors in the comment section. Pathetic.

21. Dudes like a final boss to beat Jesus from three tasers to getting shot till he tapped out

22. All these comments n no one even care about dude LIFE, AND HIS FAMILY …he probably has a whole family out at work and school, and/or on their way home…14 mins and he’s no longer here,because HE CALLED THE POLICE!!!

25. I knew at 10 seconds in this guy was going to be trouble. Who tf talks like that? Answer: Crazy people

26. This is crazy he called them n he became the target off top? Like how does that work 🤔

27. Lo hicieron todo mal

28. Find another profession. Unfit

29. Are we forgetting that he’s unarmed and they’re there on a misdemeanor Warrant with a bunch of cops there????

    There was many more options. They could’ve de-escalate the situation by waiting for Backup and truly confirming his identity other than looking at one photo and turning up the situation by assuming without the proper amount of people for them to truly feel comfortable taking him down.

    I’m no psychologist, but even if he does have a mental issue, they were too scared to approach him hand to hand 3 Vs 1 individual.
    Men shouldn’t be allowed to put on a badge if you can’t defend yourself without a gun as they completely outnumbered the assailant .

30. Baitola

31. Shooting an unarmed person multiple times?

32. A shitty intervention

33. Le dieron demasiadas oportunidades, él las quiso perder.

34. The Camera Cop really is terrible & escalated the entire incident from the beginning.

35. Embarrassing

36. This is terrible for all people involved. Suicide by cop effects the cop too. It's hard to watch all the way around.

37. I hope that officer is ok.

38. Trespassing would have just been a fine at most and he decided to go out in a body bag instead with a house like that. Baffling.

39. Wow! How the heck is he a cop that started crying. 😳
    He is so obviously mentally ill too.

40. Jujitsu, krav maga, karate,Muay Thai, war experience, training hardcore. And he use the gun 🔫🔫 omg ,.

41. That's sad for the officer and the family of the suspect

42. Don't call the police for civil matter.
