What was the episode where an older male gets tased after coming out of the woods?


I believe it's an early 2010's episode and it's an older white male (approximately 60's) was running out of the woods and then falls down when he gets tased, it was featured off of the opening intro.

It was in Pierce County during season 23. It was an attempted suicide. The officer, Robert Carpenter told him to show his hands, along with his wife/girlfriend. The male runs and begs Officer Carpenter to shoot him, but tased him so it didn't have to happen. The man seemed to have lots of issues that hopefully he got help for. The man claimed to have a bomb at first. Carpenter later told him he was glad that he didn't have to shoot him.

That wasn't the episode I was thinking of (I watched the episode you mentioned), the one thing I'm thinking of took place at night.

The segment I mentioned took place at night. I'll have to think about it.

the one I saw took place during the daytime

Was that the one where the guy was threatening officers if they showed up? He definitely wasn't in his 60's though.

reply

I believe that was the one and the suspect in that segment appeared to be in his late 30's/early 40's, I did find the episode I initially mentioned and enjoyed it, the suspect could've been in his 50's.

I liked both segments and felt sorry for both, even though the one suspect was making threats at officers.

I did eventually find the episode you were talking about and thought the officers did a great job handling the situation.
