last week, Macias was rearrested Tuesday morning, Nov. 12 and booked into Siskiyou
County Jail on charges of felony resisting arrest, assault with a deadly weapon (not
a firearm) and attempt to murder a peace officer."
05:48 "Two officers got into an altercation with the suspect. One officer attempted
to wrestle the suspect's weapon away from him while the second officer, Sgt. Lee
Tassio, reportedly shot the suspect with a Tazer. The Tazer shot did not
incapacitate the suspect, according to Garcia, and Tassio fired a bullet at the
suspect after the 29-year-old reportedly reached for Tassio's gun. The bullet killed
the man."

heard the screams of a 5-year-old girl. He ran to the scene and saw the young girl
being viciously attacked by a coyote. He shepherded his own family to safety and,
without hesitation, wrestled and pulled the animal off the girl, restraining it
until local police officers arrived and put the animal down."
09:53 "'The suspect stopped. He then backed up and intentionally rammed the police
cruiser, and then he did it a second time, intentionally rammed a police cruiser,
which was able to get him the room he needed to get out of that lot,' Lambert
said."
SUMMARY

intentionally rammed a police cruiser twice, and clipped nearby vehicles. And some
