Stun gun use in arrest of 13-year-old brings controversy Debbie Ramsey Managing Editor The San Diego County Sheriff’s Dept. has come under fire from some members of the community after a deputy used a stun gun to help subdue an uncooperative teenage runaway in Fallbrook on Saturday, June 13. The incident began shortly after 5 p.m. that day when the mother of the boy called law enforcement to bring her 13-year-old son home after he had been missing for a day and a half. The boy had been reported missing, found, and returned home five times prior to that in recent history. Labeled a “chronic runaway,” the youth was well-known to law enforcement. Deputy Jeremy Banks responded to the mother’s call and located the boy in an area behind the Albertsons grocery store at 1133 S. Mission Road, where he and other skateboarders he spends time with are known to gather. There were about half a dozen boys congregated at the spot.
