Incident Description

Police Narrative (Not Verified):

"[After being bit by a police dog]: ...PFC#1 hit TG once with a closed fist to his head. At this point, TG rolled to his stomach with his hands underneath his stomach.

PFC#1 then used hand strikes to TG’s back. PFC#1 was joined by PFC#2... When TG was finally handcuffed, PFC#1 immediately took control of Lobo [dog] and called for the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department (hereinafter “FCFRD”) to respond and provide medical care to TG for the dog bite.

[W]hile being treated TG suffered a medical emergency (cardiac arrest) deemed life-threatening by the FCFRD. The handcuffs were removed so that life-saving treatment could be administered. TG was then transported to Reston Hospital where he received additional medical care.

In May of 2020, TG was placed in a nursing home facility able to breathe on his own, but he remained non-verbal. "
