Written by On May 4, 2015, Officer Deschenes, along with other officers, held David Washington at gunpoint while he was unresponsive due to a stroke. After Officer Jurgens used a Taser and pepper spray on Washington, Deschenes holstered his firearm, opened the driver’s side door, and pulled Washington from the vehicle. The incident led to a lawsuit alleging excessive force and denial of medical care, resulting in a confidential settlement.
