Never could understand why someone would go to jail or die rather than take a stupid ticket... jeez, just take it home and wipe your ass with it if you want. At least you'll still have an ass.

COTTONWOOD, (April 20, 2024) - Bodycam video footage was released from an officer-involved shooting incident in Cottonwood that left one person dead.

That person was identified as 32-year-old Donovan Jelicich. In the video, Jelicich could be seen striking the officer multiple times and putting the officer in a chokehold before the shooting took place.

The officer can be seen attempting to subdue Jelicich with a taser before firing a single gunshot at the 32-year-old, which would eventually claim his life days later in a hospital.

Jelicich was originally pulled over for driving without his headlights on and tailgating a different vehicle.

In the video, Jelicich is questioned as to why he exited the vehicle in the first place.

The officer - who was only identified as a six-year veteran - asks Jelicich if there is something wrong, to which Jelicich replies, "Yeah, there is too much going on in the city."

It's at that moment that the officer is hit in the head and a struggle ensues.

The officer and Jelicich are seen rolling down an embankment in a tussle. Jelicich is then seen walking back toward his vehicle when it appears he is hit with a taser.

After recovering from being tased, he attacks the officer again. It is during the second attack when the officer fires his weapon at Jelicich.

At that point, another officer arrives and Jelicich is handcuffed.

According to the video, Jelicich was airlifted to the hospital where he died.

The officer responsible for the shooting was placed on non-disciplinary administrative leave. The incident occurred on April 12, 2024.

Lot of useless meth heads in this part of Arizona. Good riddance.

Cop made 2 mistakes AFAIC - 1. didn't insist that the asshole get back into his car, and 2. he didn't mag dump him after that first attack (did I hear right? He fucking hits the officer with a rock? FFS!) instead of tasing him. Could have cost him his life. Dramatic if not particularly clear footage

I see lots of taser failures in these arrest videos.

Instead of a roadside ticket, he chose to get a ticket to hell.

You can only wonder what mutant type of thoughts cause a human to think that fighting an officer will get you out of trouble… speaking of trouble, he wasn’t in much at all, a ticket is all it would have been if he would of checked out. But instead, he literally checked out and acted accordingly to his brain size.
