Shortly before 6:00 p.m. on June 27, 2017, a Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputy was shot in the face by an unarmed black man after a violent, unprovoked attack.

Deputy Alex Ladwig, a four-year veteran of the Sheriff’s Department, informed dispatch that a suspect was assaulting him on the lower platform of Regional Transit. Shortly after, Ladwig radioed dispatch to report the suspect had shot him in the face.

The Sheriff’s Department shared details of the incident in a post on Facebook:

The initial investigation shows the deputy made contact with Spann on the lower platform of the Regional Transit station. Unprovoked, Spann violently attacked the deputy and began fighting with him. At some point during the fight, Spann was able to get the deputy’s gun and fired two shots. One of the shots struck the deputy in the face.

Spann was arrested for attempted murder on a peace officer and was booked at the Sacramento County Main Jail. He is currently ineligible for bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in Sacramento Superior Court on June 29, 2017.
