“He was hungry and tired,” Feltman said. “He was yelling because he was upset.”
His girlfriend’s mother told him to leave or she would call 911.
“It just so happened that a (expletive) cop was in the hallway,” Feltman said.
Just as her son walked out of his girlfriend’s apartment, he saw the officer. Grabbingbear took off running down the apartment hallway. The deputy gave chase, Feltman said. Sgt. Jim Morgen of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office verified this sequence of events. The deputy caught Grabbingbear in a small courtyard, she said.
“They started scuffling,” Feltman said.
Morgen said the deputy suffered neck and head injuries in a confrontation. Feltman and Morgen agree that at that point, the deputy pulled out his gun and shot Grabbingbear.
“Why couldn’t you use your Taser?” Feltman said, sobbing. “Why couldn’t you use your baton?”
