Ukiah Police Provide Their Perspective on Incident Where Naked Mentally Ill Man Was Subdued by Officers

This is a press release from the Ukiah Police Department. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:

Gerardo Magdaleno

Gerardo Magdaleno

Yesterday Ukiah Police Officers responded to a service call for an individual exhibiting erratic behavior in a public setting. We are aware of videos circulating online showing a partial view of the incident and a graphic portrayal of force when the suspect failed to be subdued after a series of hands-off police techniques. Use of force incidents like this are rare and there is an investigation underway regarding the incident’s escalation and whether Ukiah Police principals and protocols were followed. We understand the serious nature of this incident and the questions that have arisen regarding use of force policies, and will keep the public informed on the outcome of this investigation.

What we know at this time is that UPD officers responded to a call for service by Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) on April 1, 2021 at approximately 2:54 PM, regarding a naked male, who was running along the roadway in the 1400 block of S. State Street.  It is common practice for UPD Officers to monitor radio traffic from MCSO, in the event that UPD Officers could assist. When these calls for service border UPD and MCSO’s jurisdictions, UPD Officers may be closer to the area of the call for service than an MCSO Deputy.

The UPD Officer responded to the area of 1450 S. State St., and observed a naked adult male, who was later identified as Gerardo Magdaleno, along the west edge of the roadway.  The Officer exited his vehicle and contacted Magdaleno.  Magdaleno failed to respond to simple verbal instructions, tensed and assumed an aggressive stance.   The Officer was concerned for the public’s safety, as there were numerous citizens, including children in the immediate area.  The Officer requested additional law enforcement respond to assist, as Magdaleno was not complying and appeared to be under the influence of a stimulant.

In the subsequent minutes, additional Officers arrived on site to help subdue the suspect. Magdaleno continued to display aggressive behavior, and the responding Officers moved through a series of escalating response actions to detain him while protecting his safety and the safety of nearby bystanders.

The Officers issued numerous verbal instructions to Magdaleno and he continued to ignore those instructions.  They then resorted to multiple taser deployments and multiple bursts of pepper spray. These hands-off measures were ineffective and Magdaleno continued to resist and repeatedly got back up to physically confront the Officers. Eventually Magdaleno was brought to the ground by several Officers but he continued to resist handcuffs and ignored verbal commands to stop resisting. The Officers then attempted to gain compliance by delivering numerous distraction strikes to the suspect’s head. This allowed the Officers a brief opportunity to place Magdaleno into handcuffs, and then the technique was ceased.

We understand the concern that is raised when physical strikes are used by Officers against a suspect. Ukiah PD officers are trained to evaluate risk and determine threats, pursue de-escalation techniques to avoid physical confrontation, deploy distance measures to secure suspect compliance, and then implement hands-on force if needed. We will be investigating this particular incident to evaluate what happened, whether the response techniques were deployed appropriately, and whether future incidents like this should be handled differently.

Based on Magdaleno’s continued physical resistance even after he was placed in handcuffs, his inability to follow verbal instructions, and the suspicion that he was experiencing a stimulant induced psychosis or excited delirium, Officers then placed Magdaleno into a WRAP.  This is a restraint device designed for the safety of the subject as well as Officers that keeps the subject’s legs straight (limiting their ability to kick or walk), while allowing the subject to be placed into a seated position.  This is an approved restraint device which allows Officers to keep the subject in a seated position, rather than lying on their stomach, which is not an optimal recovery position for a subject that is experiencing excited delirium.

Officers, Deputies and UVFA personnel began providing medical care for Magdaleno.  This included removal of Taser darts and decontamination for the OC spray that was administered to Magdaleno. Magdaleno was transported via ambulance to AHUV for a fuller medical evaluation prior to incarceration.  This is in alignment with UPD Policy, following a Taser application and use of physical force.

During the investigation, following the physical confrontation with Magdaleno, Officers located a pair of sweatpants that Magdaleno had been wearing just prior to the original call for service.  Inside the pant’s pocket a glass pipe, commonly used for smoking methamphetamine, was located, a violation of 11364 HS – Possession of drug paraphernalia.   Based on Magdaleno’s level of impairment from suspected methamphetamine use (intoxication), while in public and his apparent inability to care for himself, there was probable cause to believe he was in violation of 647(f) PC – Public intoxication.   Following his medical evaluation, Magdaleno was cleared for incarceration and booked at the MCSO Jail for the above-mentioned violations.  He is currently held at the MCSO Jail on $15,000.00 bail.

As with any Use of Force instances, this incident will be evaluated and investigated per UPD Policy.  This will include review of body worn and vehicle camera videos, which were both used throughout this incident.  The Use of Force Policy and all UPD Policies can be accessed and viewed via the UPD website.  UPD is aware that there are several videos of the incident, not captured by law enforcement, in circulation online.  It should be noted these videos may not have captured the incident in its entirety. We would encourage anyone wishing to provide video of the incident to contact LT. Phillips at 707-463-6254.

UPD would like to thank MCSO, CHP, UVFA and Med Star personnel for their assistance with this incident.  As a reminder, this incident remains under investigation and as further details may become available and released.  At the time of this press release, Magdaleno had not been processed at the MCSO Jail and the attached booking photo is from a prior incarceration.

Wait…what? …. Who committed felony violence? 69(a) PC. It looked more like a felony ” you’re getting your @$$! kicked” charge would’ve been more appropriate. Oh, maybe that charge isn’t ” officially” in the table. And I gotta wonder where the male subject was “possessing” the paraphanelia. Only one possible location comes to mind.

Bullshit Strikes are part of the academy training. Strikes with fist and baton. Next time they can call you and you can show them how it is done in a non violent manner. Just because you have relatives that are cops does not mean you know what you are talking about. If your mom was a neuro surgeon should we let you do brain surgery?

How could this have been avoided? Well don’t take LSD, Don’t run around naked in public, Do what you are told when arrested. Take your medication as prescribed. My guess is his mental problems stem from drug use. You see, he did not make a single bad decision he has made repeated bad decisions for years that led to this now it is the cops fault? No he did this to himself.

Actually, mental illness usually precedes substance use/abuse. For those suffering from mental illness, the first signs/breaks of symptoms are often during the teenage years, and drugs and/or alcohol initially provide comfort and relief. But eventually the drugs/alcohol become more problematic and exacerbate the symptoms of mental illness.

It’s also easier to access drugs or alcohol than it is to talk to someone about mental illness, which your post clearly illustrates.

Use of prescribed drugs to treat symptoms of mental illness is very challenging for healthcare providers, because the dosage and type of prescriptions can be a moving target. And then, it can be challenging for one living with mental illness to stay on their meds.

I’m not a neurosurgeon, nor am I related to one, but I did take some time to educate myself about the intersection of drugs/alcohol and mental illness.

Punching in the head or neck is not included in academy training to the best of my knowledge.

Generally punches are acceptable with limitations, but multiple officers bashing someone in the head and neck is not acceptable.

From the video clip I saw judging by the size of the crazy dude, neck tats and all, the initial cop that engaged him showed good restraint in not immediately drawing his gun.

Why not use a tranquilizer dart gun on unarmed crazies like this guy? Quickly estimate weight, dial in the dosage, shoot.

That’s a risk too. Even if not a civil rights violation to even try. Besides I have watched a veterinarian try repeated doses of a tranquilizer into a basically cooperative animal when trying to give a safe but effective dose. Then have an individual animal suddenly react anyway when they thought it done. The vision of a naked man charging into traffic with a dart stuck in some part of his anatomy would not go down well with the public either.

Mmm ways to justify spending money. The black and white answer is cops respond to crimes. An officer requires less then two weeks training and possibly the highschool degree. So gotta ask why did the cops not treat him like a normal run of the mill allegation of disturbing the peace?

The logic is cops arrest suspects. District attorneys have criminal suspects call their defense attorneys who they ask the district attorney and the court to consider the inability of the citizen to formulate mens rea aka mental health. Post probable cause of a crime and arrest. And the officers with two week training blue collar beat officer training writes a report that states the assumption they apprehended the suspect based on … [probable cause of disturbing the peace] and is out of the process so to speak. Was really curious if it was bad acid and fried “Ukians.”

And the next article so to speak to respond to two articles with one “critique?” Is this about justification of spending money ? Mental health costs can sore!!! Of sending out mental health workers for 911 calls? If I understand the “concept ?” Are the mental health official going to paid at police officer salaries and given police officer informal overtime policies? Can the sane peoples who read these comments explain this to me? And, who is making the “ call” aka decision making … so to speak to send mental health workers? The twinkies defense is raised in all types of scenarios. That does not make it valid or facts the district attorney and the courts consider so to speak. Smells fishy ???

Serious nutburger you are!

Justify violence with your “peace loving” invisible dictator in the sky?

You are parroting the words of predators not peace loving Christians.

To what “lord” do you refer? Mars?

Dehumanising anyone is an easy way to disregard any sense of humanity for the other…criminal or otherwise. Thus makes for BS justifications that usually become violent crimes in and of themselves.

This is often how war and violence are substantiated against a “perceived” threat….stir up the jackals for some heartless and mindless violence…

Loose the horror of the dogs of war and good luck putting that genie back in the bottle.
Live by the sword, die by it.

W.H. your wish is far from a lawful scenario and risks making you the perceived threat to a public at peace.

Violence is almost always the go to option for a weak and impatient mind.

P.S. there are/were several “white” tribes/cultures who sported the “dreaded” locks long before they crossed paths with people of other skin colors/types.

It’s easy to be scared of that which you know little or nothing about.

Everyones for defunding the police til a naked meth head is running around the streets, then they want to sue the police. They need to learn to use proper deescaltion techniques and tools. For example all they needed was a doll that looked like a 10 year old boy, then they could of just thrown the doll in the back of the squad car and slammed to door on him when he chased it in. Then just leave him back there with food and water for 3 days til he calls down, with the climate control on obviously. See how hard is that? I do believe several people didn’t like me making the joke about what is a social worker going to do with a clipboard when a naked meth head is chasing him around with a boner? Just saying….

Makes me proud to see the majority of comments paying respect to the blue. I usually don’t like them but I respect these up north cops. I grew up in the Bay Area and our cops were the ones you shouldn’t like, but up here they are just normal people trying to make a living doing the duty no one else wants to.

Q: How many homeless tweakers live in Ukiah?

A: All of them!

The Ukiah cops spend a large part of every shift dealing with people who are raving at the invisible demons that are attacking them!

This video is very disturbing, but it’s ordinary business, in the streets of Ukiah!

I would not be a cop in Mendo… The salary is too small!

Spend some time there. You might change your tune…

Hind sight is 20/20 if the multiple videos never were released these discussions would not be happening. The first officer he is talking keeping space… then not sure why… pulls out the pepper spray, dousing him until the canister is empty. The guy’s arms twitch and he fans his hands at the officer. Then the melee begins…Seems like the “punching” techniques are a risk to both sides. Life changing injuries, risk of infection or disease, law suits, not a benefit to any involved really. Time to find some better techniques. Where was the mental health team?

“Distraction techniques to the head” that one got me. I am grateful the officer’s were there to protect the public. It does seem a little harsh however, I don’t think any of us could have taken him down like that with out use of a weapon. Maybe there are better take down techniques out there but I don’t know I am not an officer. I think it could have been much worse for all concerned.

“Excited delerium” is 100% a police invention to explain their repeated mortal cruelty. That needs to be thrown out of our vocabulary. Some LE psychologists came up with it. “Yeah, that’s the ticket…”
It’s the cops themselves who are suffering from it if anyone is. That cop in the white pants had it going on. Thought he might be late for the party.

I’m not sure what planet the PR for UPD is from. This is bread and butter to a grand jury. There are very very strict guidelines when adminstration of force is used. Though they are never followed, they do exist. Remember people it’s not up to a cop or police department, they can charge you with murder for theft of a candy bar or anything really. It’s up to the DA essentially to correct there mistakes.

I always found it odd a grand jury could indict a ham sandwich (for all my fellow attorneys 🙂
But they can never seem to indict a cop(s) clearly acting as a gangster or goon or hood.

Here’s some food for thought – what of the police didn’t bother to show up? It would be interesting to know how this scenario would have played out if no one had intervened.
Some one in the public obviously called the cops in to deal with what was going on. What did they expect would happen?

Um. Maybe he hurts or kills another person. Maybe he terrorizes EVERYTHING until he comes down or gets his meds or real help which isn’t available here. I’m sure unless you’re his mother nothing good, and even then maybe not. Interesting is a subjective word. Do you think we should just let everything play out?

How about in cases like this the police use a large net to capture any unruly, drug crazed or otherwise mentally ill individuals? Seems way better to incapacitate for both parties as stated before in some comments. Looks weird or archaic or even “racist” like you’re capturing an “animal” but I digress…literally.

That’s not a bad idea! More effective, yet less damaging and less titillating to the officers than “delivering numerous distraction strikes to the head.” Nets can be packed quite compactly and make up part of the response kit in every squad car.

I was thinking the same about a net. Seems like that would be an effective technique in many situations. They could’ve fired a net gun ,caught him, rolled him up, and threw him in the car. I hate what they did to him. It made me physically ill (literally) to read. So many thoughts and feelings cycled through my being. If you work with people in any capacity and you do not possess the ability to treat them with dignity, you really have no business in that line of work. You can be effective and still treat people with dignity. It’s all fun and games and hahaha until you’re the one on the receiving end. Bottom line. And that day is more likely to come than not.

IDK, the net thing sounds good, but think of how many might overuse it. Then again, it might save lives. And dog’s lives too- how many dogs get killed while protecting their owners?

I wonder if the first cop was a rookie. The naked guy didn’t seem aggressive and was obviously unable to understand what was going on.

Thin blue line. Ask a cop what that means and then ask them why they think it’s a good idea to separate themselves from the rest of society in their working and personal lives. Not all cops. But many. Institutional racism, power hunger, nationalism, sexism, xenophobia, are all possibly promoted up the line knowingly and unknowingly. So here we are. I know they wanna go home at the end of the day. We all do. But they don’t act like it..

The mafia also uses such practice with friends and family.

The structure of the police force and unions are very similar to organized crime.

I have seen cases where police departments were actually operating entire divisions as black funded RICO operations. Put the mafia to shame.

I deal with cops and robbers daily and have for 40+ years. The only difference between the two is one got caught.

Alternative techniques have been around and but not necessarily adopted. I read an article in the mid 90s from US and World Report if anyone is familiar. They talked about all these techniques in r and d but also usable tech then. Sound and light distraction for two… Also they talked about infrared where they can see thru walls underground etc. Expensive but exists now and the feds and even some states use it for hostage, bomb stuff etc situations but mostly military. Nets are cool

I am not clear on who was actually threatened by this man and why he was not spoken to as though he was a human. What he heard was orders and curses. Lie down. Comply. Do this, do that. No one was concerned for his safety and well being at any time during the encounter.

It’s as if with these simple minded old school responses like bullets fists and electricity the police depts themselves are complicit in officers violence or excessive use of force. Institutional. Why not give them more tools if you want better or different results? Doesn’t help that the police culture is kindred to gun culture. Think blood siblings having children. I’m sure even some would push back on newer less lethal maneuvers simply w -They’re taking our guns!! And de-arming the police!!

“willfully and unlawfully attempting by threats or violence to deter or prevent an executive officer from performing a lawful duty. “Willfully” means you do something on purpose. “Resisting an Executive Officer” (Penal Code § 69), also known as “Resisting Arrest,” has been known to be a trumped-up charge whose primary purpose is either to generate a higher level ‘plea bargin’ or perhaps or perhaps in this case solicit public sympathy. Since actual force used to present an injury would merit a charge of assault and battery upon a police officer thus a longer incarceration time and would be a ‘strike’. There is also the question as to whether or not this persons’ mental status rose to the level that he was intentionally refusing to obey the lawful orders of the police officer. The individual may have thought it was a pink elephant or walking, talking tree that was ordering him to get on the ground just as it is not uncommon for the Emergency room to be advised an extremely combative patient is being brought in yet once the patient actually arrives the patient is as docile as a lamb. What happens in the field does not always equate with what happens at the hospital where talking to the individual in a calm tone works quite well but does not always work in the field. Distraction Technique
An empty-hand technique used by an officer utilizing a reduced level of power with
the specific intent to separate the attacker’s mind from body and break their focus.
When effective, this technique creates time for the officer to react and allows them to
transition to another tool or technique in order to gain control or disengage and create
distance. Examples include, but are not limited to, open-hand strikes, elbow strikes,
knee strikes, and kicks. This technique is considered a use of force, in an ideal situation, there would be enough ‘officers’ present to subdue the subject without the use of force. Three or more applications of an on an individual during a single interaction, regardless of whether the applications are by the same or different officers; or applications that last longer than 15 seconds, whether continuous or consecutive, regardless of the mode of the application should be considered excessive. Decades ago there was a drug referred to as Angel Dust which for unknown reason prompted people to take off their clothes but there was a comment which attributed to taking off ones clothes is a sign of meth use I did not find that in any reference anywhere as a sign of meth use, but that may account for the popularity of the drug among the youth and truck drivers. My problem is the rush to claim a police force who does not encounter this type of situation often did a great job (minus the only picture to be found was of a booking photo of which no charges had been filed how convenient) and that research has shown those with a serious drug problem find no serious safety for society by putting them in jail and that those with mental health problems research has shown jail to be a good place to make their condition worse. And the real reason for the type of restraint used is it makes CPR a lot more effective just in case that is the person is having an organic brain crisis like stroke or aneurysm because in the past law enforcement agencies have ‘defunded’ by the family in wrongful death suits by the failure to consider there could be a rational medical emergency going on instead of someone being on drugs or drunk which I believe should have been the moral of the story rather than the back and forth of bad cops or bad man.
