In 2007, Deputy Hoodman was involved in an incident where he deployed a taser on a suspect, Mr. McMillian, who was allegedly non-compliant during an arrest for leaving the scene of an accident. McMillian claimed excessive force, citing his medical conditions and the use of the taser. The court found Deputy Hoodman’s actions reasonable under the circumstances and granted summary judgment in his favor, dismissing the claims of excessive force and negligence. No disciplinary actions were taken against Deputy Hoodman in this case.
