The witness who is also a police officer says the alleged victim disregarded all the orders given by police.
Officer Joshua Kies was at the same scene as the two officers indicted for aggravated assault by a public servant.The two officers entered the home of Eric Wilson on January 16, 2020 by kicking the door down and then proceeded to punch Wilson repeatedly.
One issue was the time that officers hit their lights when pulling Eric Wilson over. Wilson was already nearly in his driveway when the SAPD vehicle carrying Castro and Kies flashed its lights. Wilson claimed he didn't see the lights until he got out of his vehicle. Additionally, Kies said the officers didn't know Wilson's identity until after he entered his home. Kies agreed with the defense's claim that it wasn't possible to know if Wilson lived in the home at the time. When officers attempted to stop Wilson in his yard, he quickly walked towards his door. Another man, later identified as Wilson's brother, walked out the front door of the home as Wilson approached and walked in.
Finally, Kies said officers were concerned about engaging Wilson because the home was in a high-crime area and they regularly stopped people with guns in their car and on their person.
