A doctor who witnessed the incident told investigators it was the most “brutal” takedown she had seen in 11 years of working at the hospital, according to records released under California’s new police transparency law. KQEDnews has the story:
DSH spokesman Montano wrote in response to emailed questions that Dominique Hauscarriague played no role in the investigation or discipline of his son or the other three officers who were found to have authored misleading reports and failed to adequately investigate.
Hauscarriague would later tell investigators that he and the other officers were familiar with Alvarez, that the patient had threatened to kill police officers, had recently head-butted an officer and was known to make weapons. Alvarez’s primary doctor, Dr. Domingo Languitan, also told investigators and Alvarez’s attorney that there was internal pressure to send the patient to jail. He said that his supervisor told him to write the required medical recommendation. Languitan had never done this before, he said, and it was not his opinion that criminal charges should be filed or that Alvarez should be sent to jail. Languitan did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Dozens of people were in the courtyard that day. State investigators interviewed five patients and six medical staff, none of whom reported seeing Alvarez fight back against police. Staff members said they were surprised when Hauscarriague “tackled” Alvarez, taking him into the wall. Because Alvarez was on his own in the yard, was not an imminent threat and did not have a weapon, the procedure would have been to try to talk to the patient and get him to move into a side room to calm down.
State investigators referred Hauscarriague for potential criminal charges of patient abuse and battery to Napa County prosecutors. They also referred McCullough for potential false arrest and perjury charges.
