The officer unholstered his BolaWrap, deployed once at the individual's legs and successfully distracted him enough to take him to the ground and apply handcuffs without injury or escalation of force.
On February 14, 2025, Utah resort officers responded to a trespassing/intoxication call involving a drunken individual who was unruly at a bar and assaulted a bartender when asked to leave.
The challenge was immediate: The intoxicated individual returned to the bar after police were called, remained visibly intoxicated, and began arguing with the responding officer while attempting to walk away during questioning.
The WrapWindow™ opened when the responding officer attempted to question the individual and he began walking away, requiring intervention to complete the investigation of the bartender assault.
Deployment and resolution: The officer unholstered his BolaWrap and deployed it once at the individual's legs, successfully distracting him enough to take him to the ground and apply handcuffs.
The outcome exceeded expectations: The deployment enabled safe custody without injury or escalation of force, successfully resolving both the original assault charge and the continued non-compliance during the investigation.
