California Tourist Alansan Bangura tased after resisting arrest, tells officers they’re “enslaving him”

36-year-old California tourist Alansan Bangura caused a disturbance at Luke’s 32 Bridge late March 10th. Security for the establishment alerted authorities and advised them that Bangura refused to leave the bar after being told to do so. Security noted that this was due to Bangura annoying other patrons, bumping into them, and making a scene. When the officers arrived, they tried to speak with him, but he was verbally irate, disregarding their commands. Officers then went to detain Bangura, but he became resistive, pushing backward, causing them to fall onto the ground in an unknown liquid. During this scuffle, Bangura fell onto Officer Tucker, injuring his shoulder. While on the ground, Bangura continued to resist, refusing to give officers his hands. When officers got his left wrist into a handcuff, they told him that he would be tasered if he continued not to cooperate, which he did not. After numerous chances, Officer Liquori placed the taser on Bangura’s back and dry-stunned him. After being tased, Bangura finally gave the officers his hand so they could detain him. Bangura repeatedly told officers that they were “enslaving him” and that they needed to take him to the precinct to let him go. Bangura also called them racial slurs while on the way to booking. Bangura was taken into custody for the assault of an officer, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and criminal trespassing on March 11th.

24-year-old Canadian tourist Owen Boisvert was banging on windows, attempting to break into cars near TownePlace Suites by Marriott in the early hours of March 9th. When officers arrived, they located Boisvert trespassing outside the hotel, where he told them nothing had happened.

Despite Boisvert’s denial, officers noticed him reeking of alcohol and having dilated pupils, consistent with the consumption of stimulant narcotics. Boisvert told officers he was staying at an Airbnb but would not tell them where it was. When assisting officers arrived, they told the other officers that they had passed Boisvert earlier in the night. Assisting officers advised they saw Boisvert screaming and cursing at officers as they drove by. Dispatch also advised that there were multiple calls about Boisvert. Boisvert was taken into custody for disorderly conduct, public intoxication, and criminal trespassing.
