Stallings — who suffered a fracture of his eye socket, plus cuts and bruises — argued in resulting court cases that he thought civilians had attacked him, and that he fired in self-defense. Stetson last year pleaded guilty to assault and was given probation. The cityOther discipline arising from that incident included a 120-hour suspension for Officer Tyler Klund for kicking Stallings and for punching a man who was with Stallings that night in the head, and failure to activate his body camera.
Sgt. Kevin Angerhofer, who oversaw SWAT teams in the area that night, got a 60-hour suspension for failing to conduct a proper force review.
