** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) ** A trio of Georgia cops tased and handcuffed a manâthen realized they had the wrong guy. Patrick Mumford, 24, was sitting in a driveway the afternoon of Feb. 1 when officers with the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department approached him. Less than a minute later, they shot him twice with a stun gun. The police had a warrant for another man, Michael Clay, but immediately assumed they had their guy. Indeed, the lawmen believed Mumford was Clay, and that he was lying about his identity, a review of body camera footage shows. Now Mumfordâs fate is hanging in the balance because Savannah police mistook him for someone else. After the frightening encounter, Mumford was charged with violating probationâstemming from a nonviolent drug offenseâand could spend up to seven years in jail, his attorney says. After Mumford was tased, the cops even argued with onlookers over whether he resembled their target suspect. âThey look a lotâa good bit alike, maâam. Itâs not far off,â an officer tells a bystander in the footage. The startling confrontation began seconds after cops came to the Savannah residence looking for Michael Clay, Mumfordâs attorney Will Claiborne told The Daily Beast. âThe problem is Patrick Mumford doesnât look like Michael Clay, he ainât Michael Clay, and they roll up on him like he is,â Claiborne said in a phone interview Thursday. âWhen he says his name is Patrick, they donât believe him. âIf they had had adequate training, they would have known not all black men look the same.â Clairborneâs firm has released an edited version of the body cam video, which was obtained through an open-records request. The footage comes as the nation grapples with the recent deaths of two black men killed by policeâPhilando Castile of St. Paul, Minnesota, and Alton Sterling of Baton Rouge, Louisianaâand as Black Lives Matter protests nationwide are working to challenge law enforcementâs deadly use of force against black men and women. âI hope for the Savannah police departmentâs sake that this would be a teachable moment,â Claiborne told The Daily Beast. âIt does add some context as to why folks can be fearful of law enforcement.â Mumford sits in his car facing the police, his feet outside the vehicle and on the pavement. âIâm not getting up, man. Show me the warrant,â he says. But the cop has already started counting down. âThree, two... all right, tase him!â he orders. A terrified Mumford raises his leg in front of him, trying to shield himself from the stun gun. âYâall ainât let me know whatâs going on,â Mumford says. Another officer pulls the taser trigger twice. According to Mumfordâs attorney, only 38 seconds passed between the cops saying hello and ordering âAll right, tase him!â In October 2014, Mumford pleaded guilty to charges including misdemeanor marijuana possession and felony possession of a controlled substance, records show. As a first-time offender, he was not convicted and instead sentenced to probation. As a result of the police departmentâs mistake, Mumford could lose his job as a certified collision specialist. He may also be forced to drop out of college where heâs pursuing his associateâs degree, Claiborne said. Messages left with the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department were not returned as of Thursday evening. Still, arrest reports offer a glimpse into their actions. Georgia cops were searching for Michael Bernard Clay, after getting a call from a California detective seeking to verify his Savannah residence. Clay had âturned in a phone that was involved in a robbery,â the report states. The Savannah officers also discovered Clay had an active warrant in Cobb County for simple assault, the document reveals. Police claim Mumford was given ânumerous reasonable attempts to comply with officers, but he refused and still physically/actively resisted,â as the officer with the body camera noted in a police report reviewed by The Daily Beast. He claims that Mumford âput his right foot up toward me as if he were going to kick me while I was aiming the Taser at himâ and that Mumford âbegan to retreat back further into the vehicle as if he were reaching for a weapon.â His fellow officers echoed claims that Clayâs mother, who arrived on scene, allegedly admitted her son and Mumford looked alike, the report shows. âMr. Clayâs mother stated that they looked very similar,â one officer recalled, âand she understood how all three of us not knowing either male could believe Mr. Patrick Mumford to be Mr. Michael Clay.â Donate to PoliceActivity: https://www.patreon.com/PoliceActivity Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PoliceActivity Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Police_Activity
