Not really. The officers told him to stop reaching under the seat. He kept on doing it. So they tried to remove him from the car. He resisted, and kept on resisting. Officers, according to officials, then tried to remove Wheatcroft from the car, so they could maintain a safe eye on him, but Wheatcroft immediately began to resist the officers. Officers then displayed their Tasers and warned Wheatcroft of potential Taser use. Wheatcroft continue to argue, yell, and physically resist the officers' control hold, and as a result of the physical resistance, and officials say the Taser was used in a "drive stun" capacity on Wheatcroft. As officers tried to detain Wheatcroft, police officials say Chapman swung a bag filled with bottled drinks, which struck Officer Lindsey in the head and rendered him unconscious. Officer Schneider then deployed his Taser, striking Wheatcroft. Officer Schneider then asked for additional officers to respond, and when multiple officers arrived at the scene, they tended to Officer Lindsey and helped detain Wheatcroft, as he was continuing to resist officers by kicking and screaming. The adults in the front seat are identified as Shawn Blackburn and Johnny Wheatcroft, and the adult in the back seat is identified as Anya Chapman. After officers made contact with the car, both of them noticed that Wheatcroft was reaching down below the seat, and into a backpack. Wheatcroft also refused to identify himself and failed to obey instructions to stop reaching his hands beneath the seat.
