A Harris County, TX., deputy has initiated a lawsuit against a woman who called 911 to report an emergency in her home; the woman's son-in-law was high on bath salts and "acting crazy" and she requested that an ambulance be sent to her home.
The emergency call to the Harris County Sheriff's Office came in like any other 911 call. A frightened woman called for help saying there was an emergency at her home.
According to Click2Houston, Camina Figueroa told 911 operators that her son-in-law, Kemal Yazar, was acting crazy after doing drugs, namely bath salts, for several days straight. She told them she needed an ambulance.
Along with the paramedics, Harris County Deputy Brady Pullen was also dispatched because Yazar was acting aggressively.
Pullen told his lawyer as soon as he went through the door that day, Yazar jumped on him and attacked him, breaking his nose, biting him and reaching for the deputy's service revolver.
In the process, Yazar was shot multiple times and was killed. In fact, officials said he was shot to death by Deputy Brady Pullen.
But now, in one of the most unusual legal cases ever filed in Harris County, Pullen, the deputy, is suing Camina Figueroa, the woman who called 911 for help because in the lawsuit he said she failed to warn him or warn dispatchers about the danger awaiting law enforcement at her home.
Criminal Attorney Brian Wice calls the lawsuit "a slap in the face to first responders everywhere."
