Man Punches Cop in Face & Gets Tasered During Fight With Woman

Police responded to a physical fight on Glacier Drive this week after receing a 911 call that reported a male and a female having an argument.

When police arrived and tried to break up the fight, both subjects were uncooperative. It ended with the male subject, Jerome Wren, punching an officer in the face, and then getting Tasered. Wren an the female subject, Tatiana Bush, were both arrested. 

This all took place at 2225 Glacier Drive. Here's how it all went down, according to a release from Davis Police Lt. Paul Doroshov:

Officers attempted to detain and separate the two so they could investigate. Wren refused to follow the Officer’s commands and became argumentative. When the officers attempted to physically detain him, Wren resisted the officer by pushing them. Officers wrestled with Wren and were able to restrain him, handcuff him, and place him in the back seat of a patrol car.

During the time officers were struggling to get Wren under control, despite numerous requests for her to keep her distance and not interfere, Tatiana Bush interfered by physically placing herself in close proximity to the struggle. At one point, Bush was so close she became pinned in between the struggling officers, Wren, and a police car.

While in the back seat of the patrol vehicle, Jerome Wren escaped from his handcuffs, kicked the rear door open, and assaulted one of the officers. Wren pushed the officer, and ultimately punched the officer in the face with his fist. After a more significant struggle than the first, the officers were only able to subdue Wren by using a Taser. He was subsequently transported and lodged at the Yolo County Jail.

Tatiana Bush was arrested and released on a citation for interfering with police officers.
