Douglas County Sheriff’s Office
Douglas County deputies arrested Errol Kerr after he allegedly attempted to hit a deputy with his vehicle during a pursuit, and was tased into compliance after resisting arrest.
On April 02, 2020 at approximately 1330 hours, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a possible reckless driver on Highway 50.
The reporting party followed the vehicle reporting it was driving slowly, not maintaining its lane, and stopped in the middle of the roadway. DCSO responded to the area and located a silver Dodge truck traveling west bound on Highway 50 near Kahle Drive.
DCSO attempted to stop the vehicle with lights and sirens, but the driver refused to stop. The vehicle continued at a slow speed east bound on Kingsbury Grade and then onto Granite Springs Road.
Due to driving into a residential area, the Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle by blocking him from driving further into the residential area. The vehicle didn’t stop and hit the Deputy’s open driver’s door almost pinning him into the vehicle.
After stopping at this point, the driver, identified later as Mr. Errol Kerr, refused to exit his vehicle and was removed by force. Mr. Kerr continued to resist and was tased by the Deputies for compliance.
Mr. Kerr was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, DUI, resisting arrest, failing to yield to a police vehicle, driving left of center, and reckless driving. Mr. Kerr was treated for his injuries and booked in the Minden Jail.
