Deputies Fatally Shoot Burglary Suspect During Attempted Rescue in Lynwood
Lynwood, California — A man was fatally shot by sheriff’s deputies early Monday morning after they encountered him actively attacking a victim during a residential burglary in Lynwood, authorities said.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, deputies from the Century Sheriff’s Station responded at approximately 12:32 a.m. on June 9, 2025, to a report of a burglary in progress in the 3300 block of Los Flores Boulevard.
Suspect Found Inside With VictimWhen deputies arrived at the scene, they learned that a male suspect had forcibly entered the residence and was still inside with the victim. Deputies identified the suspect as 45-year-old Federico Rodriguez.
While assessing the situation from outside the home, deputies observed Rodriguez through a window holding what appeared to be scissors or a bladed object. Given the immediate threat to the victim, deputies developed a tactical plan to gain entry and rescue the individual inside.
Deputies Enter ResidenceAs part of the rescue effort, deputies broke a bedroom window to access the residence. At that moment, deputies heard screaming from inside the home and observed Rodriguez actively attacking the victim.
Deputies then forced entry through a door and encountered Rodriguez in a hallway. Authorities stated that Rodriguez was armed with a knife and continued his attack while the victim was on the floor.
Officer-Involved ShootingDuring the confrontation, a deputy-involved shooting occurred. Rodriguez was struck by gunfire, which stopped the attack and allowed deputies to immediately rescue the victim.
Deputies provided emergency medical aid to Rodriguez until Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel arrived. Rodriguez was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.
No Deputies InjuredAuthorities confirmed that no deputies or other individuals were injured during the incident. A knife was recovered at the scene.
The condition of the victim has not been publicly disclosed, and the investigation into the incident remains ongoing, as is standard procedure in deputy-involved shootings.
Investigation OngoingThe Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the incident will be reviewed by internal investigators and appropriate oversight agencies to determine whether deputies acted in accordance with department policy.
Officials emphasized that deputies acted to protect the victim’s life during a rapidly evolving and dangerous situation.
Bail Denied After Suspect Violates No-Contact Order and Resists Officers
Florida Man Accused of Violent Resistance, Threats After Violating No-Contact Order on Highway 1FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. — A routine patrol along a busy stretch of U.S. Highway 1 escalated into a volatile and prolonged confrontation after a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office sergeant encountered a man allegedly violating a long-standing no-contact order, leading to a chaotic arrest marked by resistance, threats, and significant damage to a patrol vehicle, authorities said.
Continue readingThe incident unfolded when FCSO Sergeant Daniel Weaver observed 26-year-old Raymond Glass walking alongside a 30-year-old woman with whom Glass was legally prohibited from having contact. According to the sheriff’s office, the no-contact injunction was issued by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office in New York on July 31, 2020, and was not set to expire until July 30, 2023.
Investigators said the injunction was already well known to Sgt. Weaver. Records show he previously assisted the Bunnell Police Department (BPD) during a January 9, 2021 arrest, when Glass was taken into custody for violating the same order.
Attempt to Avoid Contact Raises SuspicionAfter noticing the pair walking together, Sgt. Weaver turned his patrol vehicle around and approached them. Authorities said the maneuver appeared to immediately alarm Glass, who allegedly sped up and attempted to walk away from the woman, a move investigators later cited as further evidence that Glass was aware he was violating the court order.
Sgt. Weaver instructed Glass to come over and sit on the front of the patrol vehicle while he attempted to determine the identity of Glass’s probation officer and confirm the status of the injunction. What began as a standard investigatory detention quickly deteriorated.
According to FCSO, Glass became argumentative and confrontational, insisting that merely walking near the woman did not violate his probation — a claim deputies say was factually incorrect under the terms of the injunction.
Resistance Escalates During Arrest AttemptAs Sgt. Weaver attempted to place Glass in handcuffs, officials say Glass clenched his arms tightly across his chest and physically tensed his body, actively resisting arrest. Deputies reported issuing numerous lawful commands instructing Glass to stop resisting.
When those commands failed, Sgt. Weaver performed a leg sweep, taking Glass to the ground in an effort to safely secure him. Even on the ground, authorities said Glass continued to resist, repeatedly attempting to roll onto his side to prevent deputies from gaining control of his arms.
Sgt. Weaver warned Glass multiple times that continued resistance would result in the use of a taser. When Glass refused to comply, Sgt. Weaver deployed his taser in stun gun mode, meaning no probes were fired. The brief electrical discharge ultimately allowed deputies to place Glass in handcuffs.
Drug Paraphernalia Discovered, Threats IntensifyDuring a search of Glass’s pockets, an assisting Bunnell Police Department officer located a metal pipe containing burnt cannabis residue in Glass’s back pocket, authorities said.
At that point, deputies reported that Glass’s behavior became increasingly aggressive and threatening. According to arrest documents, Glass repeatedly threatened to kill deputies and officers, shouting that he wanted to kick them and would murder them if given the chance.
While deputies attempted to conduct a more thorough search before placing him in the patrol vehicle, Glass allegedly became even more enraged. Investigators say he intentionally slammed his own head into the frame of the patrol car, causing a visible dent in the vehicle while yelling accusations of police brutality.
Spit Hood and Leg Shackles DeployedAs deputies attempted to search Glass for weapons or contraband, authorities said he threatened to bite one of the deputies. For officer safety, deputies placed a spit hood over Glass’s head.
Glass continued to resist and refused to allow deputies to search him. Deputies then applied leg shackles to further restrain him. During the process, officers noticed a bandana wrapped tightly around Glass’s neck that could not be untied. Deputies cut the bandana off to prevent a potential safety hazard.
According to FCSO, the action triggered another outburst. Glass allegedly threatened to murder the deputy who removed the bandana and then attempted to kick him. He missed his intended target but instead kicked another deputy standing nearby, officials said.
Patrol Vehicle Damaged From InsideOnce placed in the back seat of the patrol vehicle, Glass reportedly continued his destructive behavior. Deputies say he began kicking the interior rear passenger door, ultimately breaking the latch and bending the door frame.
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office estimates the damage to the patrol vehicle at approximately $1,500.
Sheriff Praises Deputies’ RestraintFlagler County Sheriff Rick Staly addressed the incident publicly, praising his deputies for their professionalism under extreme circumstances.
“Our deputies showed great restraint while dealing with this guy who was trying to fight them and continually threatened to kill them,” Sheriff Staly said. “He even went so far as to bang his own head into the patrol car while screaming ‘police brutality.’”
Sheriff Staly emphasized the importance of body-worn cameras and in-car cameras in documenting incidents like this.
“This case is a great example of why our deputies wear body cameras and why we are implementing dashboard cameras across our fleet of patrol vehicles,” he said. “We have demonstrated transparency throughout my tenure and our well-trained deputies have nothing to hide.”
He also issued a warning to others who might consider resisting arrest.
“It’s also a warning that if you resist, you will still go to the Green Roof Inn — but with many more charges,” Staly added, using a local nickname for the county jail. He also thanked the Bunnell Police Department for assisting in the arrest.
Multiple Felony and Misdemeanor Charges FiledGlass was transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where he was booked on a long list of charges, including:
- Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer
- Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer
In addition, Glass was charged with Violation of Probation for breaching the no-contact order that prohibited him from being near the woman.
Authorities confirmed that Glass is currently being held with no bond allowed.
Case Highlights Risks of Probation ViolationsLaw enforcement officials said the case underscores the dangers officers face during encounters involving probation violations and emotionally volatile suspects. What initially appeared to be a straightforward enforcement of a court-ordered injunction quickly escalated into a physically aggressive and unpredictable situation.
Deputies involved in the arrest were not seriously injured, though officials acknowledged that several officers were placed at risk during the confrontation.
The incident remains documented through body-camera footage and patrol vehicle video, which authorities say clearly shows deputies acting within policy while attempting to de-escalate a highly combative suspect.
