MCSD Sgt. Arthur Farra pushes resident Jerry Maynard to the ground after calling 911 for help
The incident between Maynard and MCSD Sgt. Arthur Farra occurred after the ambulance had exited the parking area. The video surveillance that was captured from a neighbor’s camera shows Maynard and Farra walking toward one another and then you can see the officer shoving the male to the ground, where he remained for approximately 1-2 minutes before getting to his feet on his own accord.
Also present at the time the event played out before the camera was Cpl. E. Williams with the MCSD. After Maynard gets back on his feet, he is seen walking back toward his residence. The officers are recorded as they get in their cruisers and leave the scene.
Maynard told news media that the officer “Hit me and knocked me down and when he did, everything went dark. I put my hands up because I didn’t know if he was going to hit me with his light or what.”
As of now, Farra is on paid administrative leave until the investigation is complete. More information will be released on this incident as it becomes available.
Jerry Maynard had called 911 after experiencing chest pain the EMTs responded and said his vitals were normal. He later called 911 again after continuing to get chest pains. This is when Sgt. Farra assaulted the man. So if you ever have a medical emrgency be careful calling the police, they may assault you.
