NARRATIVE
ON MAY 20, 2014, AT APPROXIMATELY 1114 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO THE ADDRESS OF
3011 NORTH MAIN THE CVS PHARMACY. I WAS ADVISED BY CENTRAL DISPATCH THAT THERE
WAS A MALE SUBJECT WHO HAD LOCKED HIMSELF IN THE RESTROOM AND WAS SNIFFING
COMPRESSED AIR.
WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE CVS PHARMACY I WAS ADVISED BY ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES THAT
THEY WERE IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. I THEN MADE MY WAY BACK TO THE RESTROOM
WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

I WAS ADVISED BY EMPLOYEES THAT THE MALE SUBJECT WAS STILL INSIDE THE RESTROOM
AND WAS SNIFFING SOME SORT OF COMPRESSED AIR. THERE WAS ALSO A FEMALE SUBJECT
THAT WAS STANDING WITH THE EMPLOYEES AND SHE IDENTIFIED HERSELF AS THE MALE
SUBJECTS WIFE.
SHE STATED THAT HE HAS BEEN HAVING SOME PROBLEMS FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS AND
THAT HE IS ADDICTED TO IT AND THAT THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY TO PUEBLO, COLORADO
TO SUBMIT HIM INTO REHAB.
I THEN ASKED THE EMPLOYEES TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. ONCE THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED I
OPENED IT AND THAT IS WHEN I CAME INTO CONTACT WITH THE MALE SUBJECT THAT WAS
IDENTIFIED AS CHRIS SYMINGTON. MR. SYMINGTON SEEMED VERY DISORIENTED AND WAS
LEANING UP AGAINST THE SINK IN THE MALES RESTROOM.
MR. SYMINGTON ALSO HAD A WHITE AND BLACK IN COLOR COMPRESSED AIR DUSTER IN HIS
RIGHT HAND. I THEN ADVISED MR. SYMINGTON TO PUT THE CAN DOWN BUT MR. SYMINGTON
WAS NOT OBEYING MY COMMANDS.
MR. SYMI NGTON S HEAD APPEARED TO BE WOBBLI NG SI DE TO SI DE AND WAS NOT
ANSWERING OF MY QUESTIONS. I THEN APPROACHED MR. SYMINGTON AND REMOVED THE
CAN FROM HIS HANDS AND PATTED HIM DOWN FOR WEAPONS. AS I WAS PATTING HIM DOWN
I NOTICED THAT HIS RIGHT FINGER APPEARED TO BE WHITE IN COLOR AND HAD SKIN PEELED
OFF OF I T. I M NOT SURE I F THI S I S THE RESULT OF HI M PRESSI NG ON THE TOP TO THE
COMPRESSED AIR CAN BUT IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY.
I THEN PLACED MY HANDCUFFS ON MR. SYMI NGTON, DOUBLE LOCKI NG THEM AND
CHECKING THEM FOR TIGHTNESS AND TOOK HIM TO AN OFFICE NEARBY THE RESTROOM. I
READ MR. SYMINGTON HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS AND HE STATED THAT HE UNDERSTOOD WITH A
VERBAL YES. BY THI S TI ME MR. SYMI NGTON ALREADY SEEMED TO BE WELL AWARE OF
WHAT WAS GOING ON AND HE BEGAN TO STATE THAT HE HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS AND
THAT HE JUST WANTED TO GO TO COLORADO TO GET SUBMI TTED I NTO REHAB. I THEN
ASKED MR. SYMINGTON WHAT HE WAS DOING IN THE RESTROOM AND HE SAID THAT HE WAS
SNIFFING ON THE COMPRESSED AIR.
MR. SYMINGTON STATED THAT HE HAS HAD PROBLEMS IN THE PAST IN TRYING TO CONTROL
HIS ADDICTION TO SNIFFING COMPRESSED AIR. AT THAT POINT I ESCORTED MR. SYMINGTON
CLOSE TO MY UNI T J UST OUTSI DE OF THE STORE AND ASKED OFFI CER TRAI NEE BRAD
LUNSFORD (L859) TO RECOVER THE CAN FROM THE RESTROOM SO THAT I MAY SUBMIT THE
CAN IN FOR EVIDENCE.
I WAS THEN MADE AWARE THAT MR. SYMINGTON HAD ONLY STAYED HER IN LAS CRUCES
FOR ONE WEEK AND WAS STAYI NG AT NEW MEXI CO STATE UNI VERSI TY I N ONE OF THE
DORMS.
I THEN CALLED SERGEANT CARLOS WOOTEN ( 3 9 9 ) AND EXPLAI NED TO WHAT HAD
OCCURRED. SERGEANT WOOTEN SAID THAT THE BEST THING TO DO AT THIS TIME WAS TO
Page 2 of 3 PRIORS: geo911 Inc Case ID: LCPD201411036 Printed By: L103 Rep. Officer: L870 - Rodriguez,Alejandro
ISSUE A CRIMINAL CITATION TO MR. SYMINGTON.
I ISSUED HIM A CRIMINAL CITATION AND USED THE ADDRESS THAT HE WAS USING FOR NEW
MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY. AT THAT POINT I WENT AHEAD AND PROVIDED MR. SYMINGTON
WITH A COPY OF HIS CITATION AND ADVISED HIM THAT HE NEEDED TO CALL THE COURT AND
EXPLAIN TO THE COURT THE SITUATION THAT HE WAS IN AND THAT HE NEEDED TO EXPLAIN
TO THEM THAT THE WAS GOING TO BE SUBMITTED INTO REHAB IN COLORADO AND THAT
WAS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE HIS WAY BACK DOWN HERE FOR A COURT
DATE.

TRESPASSED FROM THE CVS PHARMACY. I THEN ALLOWED MR. SYMINGTON TO GO ON HIS
WAY AND PROVIDED THE CVS EMPLOYEES OF THE CASE NUMBER.
