Police Officer Christopher Wheeler
On January 12, 2013, Police Officer First Class Jason Borges-Garcia and Police Officer Christopher Wheeler responded to the 3700 block of Dunlap Street in an effort to find a suspect wanted by a neighboring jurisdiction. Upon arrival, the two patrol officers saw a man standing at the front door of a residence. When the man spotted the patrol officers, he began to frantically bang on the door. The patrol officers then engaged the subject, who continued to act erratically. As the patrol officers gave the suspect verbal commands, the man jumped from the front porch and tried to run away. The suspect was quickly caught, but resisted the patrol officers efforts to arrest him. During the arrest, the suspect grabbed at his waistband and refused to stop resisting. After a brief struggle, he was placed into custody. A loaded pistol and a bottle of PCP were recovered from his pocket.
