A trespassing investigation in Polk County escalated into a tense police confrontation when a man refused to cooperate with a deputy and was eventually struck with a Taser. On June 12, 2026, a deputy responded to a business after employees reported that Derek Griffith had been taking pictures of their trucks and equipment. According to the employees, Griffith claimed he was owed money and threatened to repossess the vehicles. The deputy initially went to the wrong address before discovering he had already spoken with the man he was looking for. After employees authorized a trespass notice, the deputy contacted Griffith again. But Griffith disputed the reason for the investigation, repeatedly insisted he had done nothing wrong, and demanded to contact the property owner. The argument intensified as the deputy ordered him to provide information and comply with commands. Then the situation took a dramatic turn. As Griffith continued resisting the deputy’s attempts to take him into custody, the deputy deployed his Taser. Officers subsequently arranged medical attention and made sure Griffith’s dog was cared for. According to the source, Griffith was booked and charged with trespassing, harassment of a public official or employee, and interference with official acts. The transcript does not establish a later court outcome. Did this confrontation have to escalate, or did Griffith’s refusal to cooperate make matters worse? Watch the full police bodycam footage and decide for yourself.
