Mr. Belin. Did you hear Officer McDonald say anything?
Mr. Hutson. No.
Mr. Belin. You are shaking your head no.
Mr. Hutson. No, sir.
Mr. Belin. All right, what happened then?
Mr. Hutson. The gun was taken from the suspect's hand by Officer McDonald and somebody else. I couldn't say exactly. They were all in on the struggle, and Officer Hawkins, in other words, he simultaneously, we decided to handcuff him.
We had restrained him after the pistol was taken, but he was still resisting arrest, and we stood him up and I let go of his neck at this time and took hold of his right arm and attempted to bring it back behind him, and Officer Hawkins and Walker and myself attempted to handcuff him.
At this time Sgt. Jerry Hill came up and assisted as we were handcuffing.
Then Captain Westbrook came in and gave the order to get him out of here as fast as you can and don't let anybody see him, and he was rushed out of the theatre.
I was in the row of seats behind. I saw Officer Walker and Sgt. Jerry Hill had ahold of him, and that is the last I ever saw him.
