FAIRFIELD, Calif. (KNX) – A man sprayed a Fairfield officer with bear spray Saturday night before trying to run away, according to police.
It happened around 9:45 p.m. near the 4400 block of Central Way, the Fairfield Police Department said.
The department said an officer tried to stop John Rogers, 29, who was on his bike and was “uncooperative and confrontational.”
When the officer tried to detain him, Rogers pulled out a large can of bear spray and sprayed it into the officer’s face.
“Officer Kimball deployed his taser with little to no success, and Rogers continued to fight for approximately five minutes until additional officers arrived,” the department said.
Rogers, according to police, had two felony warrants out for his arrest in Solano County.
During a search of Rogers’ backpack, officers found a case with a “Ramset powder actuated nailing tool”, which is used to shoot nails into hard surfaces such as concrete. There was .22 caliber round inside of the tool so it could be used like a pistol, officers said.
The officer “sustained limited injuries”, according to police.
