a customer named Edward Galvin visited the same Taco Bell with his sister and her two children.Īccording to the police report, Galvin was allegedly “lurking” inside the store and placing small orders. Chankongsinh was taken to Zeeland Community Hospital for the blood draw and to have a taser probe removed from his genitals.Ĭhankongsinh was lodged in the Ottawa County Jail on charges of damage to business property, operating while intoxicated, flee and elude, resisting and obstructing and habitual offender fourth offense notice. Nagelkirk reported Chankongsinh had a “strong odor of intoxicants coming from his person,” and that both of his eyes were watery and bloodshot.Ĭhankongsinh allegedly refused to submit to a blood draw, so Nagelkirk obtained a warrant. The third round of tasing sent Chankongsinh to the ground, where he was handcuffed before being placed in Nagelkirk’s vehicle. Maher tased him again, still with no effect.Īt that time, another responding officer, Nick Forrest, tased Chankongsinh a third time, hitting him in the left leg and groin. When Chankongsinh didn’t reply, Maher tased him, but claimed it had no effect. Maher took out his taser and informed Chankongsinh if he didn’t comply, he'd be tased. (I'll) fight it off and fight everyone here," Chankongsinh allegedly responded. Multiple officers on-scene said Chankongsinh was yelling obscenities, threatening to fight officers and telling them to shoot.ĭeputy John Maher arrived with his K9 partner, Titus, and warned Chankongsinh if he didn’t comply, the dog would be deployed and likely bite him. Arresting Officer Andrew Nagelkirk with the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office described Chankongsinh’s car as "swerving and drifting within the lane and straddling the center dotted line." Chankongsinh didn’t pull over when Nagelkirk used his lights and siren, the report alleged, but continued going 45 mph while swerving in the northbound lane of 132nd Avenue.Īccording to Nagelkirk, Chankongsinh eventually stopped on Blueberry Lane, where he got out of the car but didn't comply with police orders. Finally, he left the Taco Bell and drove north on River Avenue. The police report states Chankongsinh then drove to the front door and began pulling on the handles, striking the glass and gesturing as if he had a gun. According to a statement from a Taco Bell employee, Chankongsinh pointed his hand toward the window as if he were holding a gun, but because it was dark, the employee couldn't confirm he was armed.
