Police: Pepper spray subdues drunk combative man

Police said officers were called to the location by a woman who reported a strange man was leaning against her daughter’s car and he had tried to get in it.

The suspect “took an aggressive stance” when one officer tried to relieve him of his pocket knife, according to the report.

A struggle ensued as the suspect wouldn’t put his hands behind his back, according to the report.

The officers used a Taser unsuccessfully, then deployed pepper spray, which had the desired effect, according to the report.

Police said before Clyburn was taken to jail, paramedics were called to the scene and helped to wash out the spray out of his eyes.
