Redding Police and the man arrested the address of the address of the free officer in an incident at the Car Show

Redding, California – A viral video that has gripped a physical argument between an officer and an McArthur man during the Kool-April night has triggered a widespread discussion after making it up at Reddit at the weekend. The incident, which took place more than three weeks ago, led to reactions from both the Redding Police Department and the man involved, the Norman Valdez, based in Macarthur.

“The circulating video begins about two thirds of the path through the actual encounter and does not show the events that led to the intervention of the off-duty officer,” said RPD.

“A lot of misinformation is published,” said Valdez, referring to the online debate around the video. “I heard I should be deported, I build marijuana.”

Previous report: man offense

Valdez reported that on April 26, at 11:20 a.m., he and his wife arrived on a field along the Butte Street. However, they were prevented from going to the park or even using the property to turn around.

“We came here because we parked here last year,” said Valdez. “I watched four cars take off and they refused me, turn me into or turn around.”

According to a press release from the Redding Police Department, Valdez began two members of the Redding Police Community Explorer Program, which consists of 14 to 21-year-old volunteers, and two female community service managers who manage the gate to Los. “Valdez has caused a disturbance by shouting at the youngsters and civilian employees and refusing to move his vehicle,” said RPD. Valdez contested this account.

“Have you shouted at her?” Reporter Max Tedford asked him.

“No, I didn't do it. Not in the initial interaction while we were in the car,” said Valdez.

The police said it was the non -servant officer who initially entered. They claim that the ongoing civil servant had gone to Valdez 'vehicle when it comes to the perspective of the ongoing conversation, identified himself and told him that he should park elsewhere.

Valdez claimed that after a brief exchange, the off-duty officer approached something and screamed something that he could not fully understand, apart from “movement or arrest”. Valdez and his wife then drove away to find alternative parking spaces further into downtown Redding and returned to the event on foot. On the return, Valdez said that he had observed how more cars were left in the property.

“When I came back, I watched about 8 people. It is just like a two -minute walk around the corner, and I rolled it off,” Valdez admitted and pressed out frustration that access to the lot was refused.

Valdez denied the presence of the discoverers nearby, contrary to the claims of the Redding police. Anyone who explained that the non -servant officer of the same group of four explorers and CSOs screams and intervened again, identified themselves as an officer, and Valdez proved to leave the area. Valdez claimed that it was not as clear as the police.

“He raises his shirt that had hidden his firearm here, and he flashes his wallet, no badge, but I can't see that because I need glasses,” said Valdez and described the encounter.

Valdez claimed that the non -servant officer continued to pushed him and cried him while trying to withdraw. The police found that at that time an uniformed officer and a non-servant Shasta deputy arrived, and when Valdez did not meet any commands, he was arrested.

“The off-duty officer continued to his vehicle and when he went, he looked back Valdez and started aggressively the two CSOs, volunteers, and nearby the parishioners tried to calm the Valdez. Shortly afterwards.

However, Valdez says that the video itself denies this claim. The only command he had received at that time was to move away, but when he tried the free officer, he continued.

The video shows a uniformed officer and a seriesless sheriff and asks Valdez if he has weapons while the off-duty officer continues to try to grab Valdez. Valdez demands that you stop touching him and answers the deputy that he has no weapons. He tells the deputy that he allows the uniformed officer to search him, but not one of the extra-guilters while he slits away the hand of the off-duty officer. At this point, the three law enforcement officers converge to the ground in the video Valdez.

He was charged with assault against a police officer who opposed the arrest and public poisoning. However, he claims that RPD and Shasta County have never carried out drug or alcohol tests, and shared one that he carried out alone on April 28 and which came back throughout the line. In the case of May 20, 2025, the Shasta County office did not raise any indictment.

In the explanation published by RPD after the online publication of the video, it is said: “It should be noted that our civilian personnel have not made any camera (BWC). Volunteers are not exhibited with BWCs, and the CSOS are not required by the current guideline to supervise a BWC while an Explorer Advisor Came on the officers suitable from the uniform that arrived at the BWC. “

The department asks community members who may have taken video or photos of the entire encounter to contact the examination under number 530-225-4200.

When asked on May 20, Chief Brian Barner made this explanation:

The initial use of the violence check of the incident showed no violation of the guidelines by the official. All efforts of armed forces by Redding police officers are checked 300 in accordance with the guidelines, in particular 300.7.1. I am behind the information that we published yesterday about the incident. There is that our civil servant has identified himself via his identification card issued, which clearly identifies it as a redding police officer. Due to the pending criminal proceedings and the potential future legal dispute, I will not comment on the details of the criminal proceedings. I guess and support that our official officer made the decision to protect Interve to protect our civilian staff, especially our young volunteer researchers.
