A Clackamas County, Oregon grand jury has found that a local sheriff’s deputy was justified in non-fatally shooting 44 year-old Daniel Zimmerman as she responded to a mental health/possible arson call at his home last month because, even though he wasn’t carrying a firearm, the way he ran at the deputy while holding his pants up with one hand behind his back made it look like he was getting ready to pull one, OregonLive.com reports on a pretty embarrassing fashion mishap.
It also didn’t help that Zimmerman was shouting “loudly and aggressively” as he charged toward the deputy, or that he was trying to set a utility trailer on fire when she and a state trooper responded to Zimmerman’s father’s call. Simultaneous to getting shit, Zimmerman was tased by the state trooper.
