BANDON, Ore. — Officers shot a man twice in the arm Tuesday night after he had called 911 for an ambulance, the Coos County District Attorney said.
District Attorney Paul Frasier said that the man, later identified as Charles Wayne Crum, requested medical assistance at his rural Bandon residence. According to Bandon Police officials, Crum has a history of violent behavior with officers, as well as misdemeanor warrants on file.
The sheriff’s office protocol states that officers must assist potentially dangerous subjects before sending out an ambulance. Arriving officers, who thought the man was armed, fired shots and hit him in the arm, police said. Officials report that Crum refused treatment for his non-life threatening injuries and was taken directly to the Coos County Jail.
