At 11:30 pm, police were dispatched to a residence in Naples for an ambulance assist.
Officer Ashman knocked on the front door, and while waiting for someone to answer, she could hear a banging noise coming from inside the home.
A female answered the door and told the officer she was concerned about her son, 22-year-old Stetson Evans, and his behavior, and he possibly could be on meth or GHB.
The officer asked where Stetson was, and the female replied that he was downstairs and didn't think he had any weapons but did mention that there was a weight bench.
It sounded like Stetson was throwing the weights around the room.
Officer Ashman radioed to dispatch for another officer to respond to the location before going down the stairs. The officer called out Stetson's name, and he came running up the stairs past the officer, turned around, and ran back down the stairs past the officer.
Officer Escobedo arrived, and the two officers proceeded down the stairs. They told Stetson they wanted to talk to him and make sure he was alright. Stetson ran into a room, shut the door, and said he could speak from behind the door.
After asking Stetson several times to open the door to talk to the officers, he opened the door and sprinted past them toward the stairs. The officers ran up the stairs behind Stetson, hearing him say something about a hammer.
Stetson ran into the kitchen pantry and tried to shut the door, but Officer Escobedo pushed the door open, and Stetson was standing there with a hammer in his right hand raised above his head. Stetson was given several commands to drop the hammer. When he finally did, he tried running past the officers again.
The officers grabbed Stetson to stop him from running, but he managed to get out of their grasp, open the door to the garage, and start running outside.
Officer Ashman began chasing Stetson as he ran toward the neighboring house and into the backyard. She went around to the North side of the house to the backyard to cut Stetson off.
When Officer Ashman made her way around the house, Officer Escobedo had his taser drawn and had Stetson sitting on the ground, ordering him to get on his stomach and place his hands behind his head.
Stetson was checked for weapons and, placed in the back of the patrol truck and secured in a seat belt. He unbuckled his seatbelt and slipped one of the handcuffs off. After being replaced in handcuffs, he was taken to the Uintah County Jail.
Stetson Evans may post bail in the amount of $2,000.00.
