US EditionHercules Responds to Taser Lawsuit Filed by Young Man Who Suffered Brain Seizure
- The city of Hercules responded to a federal lawsuit filed in February 2024 by Jack Bruce, who was Tasered three times while suffering a brain seizure during a police stop on Refugio Valley Road.
- Bruce, a 22-year-old union tradesman, was driving home and did not follow officers' commands to exit his car after his seizure caused him to lose control of the vehicle and roll off the road.
- Video footage shows officers shocked Bruce and struck him in the face while yelling profanities, with both sides expressing intent to pursue a jury trial after attempting mediation.
- Attorney David Fiol asserted, "The video proves our case," while city representatives Osman, Crawford, and Sanderson rejected legal liability regarding the claims outlined in the lawsuit.
- The public's strong reaction to the incident prompted the city to call off a scheduled event and organize a town hall meeting to address community concerns about the use of force in this widely followed case.
