* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * Waterbury, Connecticut — On Thursday, July 11, 2024, at around 10:23 a.m., Waterbury Police officers responded to a report of a stolen car located in the 900 block of Wolcott Street. The vehicle’s owner had reported it stolen earlier and managed to find it in a parking lot, with a man later identified as 44-year-old Bellido-Rosado inside the car. Upon confronting Bellido-Rosado, the owner managed to get him out of the car and immediately called the police. When officers arrived, the owner identified Bellido-Rosado as the car thief. As officers attempted to handcuff Bellido-Rosado, he resisted, becoming combative and biting one of the officers. During the struggle, Bellido-Rosado also attempted to grab an officer’s gun, causing the protective cover of the holster to break off. Body camera footage captured an officer repeatedly warning, “Stop reaching for my gun,“ more than half a dozen times. The video also shows an officer kicking Bellido-Rosado in an attempt to subdue a tense struggle, officers managed to gain control and take Bellido-Rosado into custody. A search revealed he was carrying a crack pipe. Two officers involved in the altercation were taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries and later released. Bellido-Rosado was also transported to a local hospital and is receiving treatment for minor injuries. The incident was further reviewed by the Waterbury state’s attorney’s office and it was found that the use of force by the officers involved was determined to be reasonable and justified during the arrest. Bellido-Rosado is a convicted felon who had an outstanding felony Violation of Probation warrant for a separate incident. Police said his bond had not yet been set. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - ’DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse’ - ’Rowdy’ - Derick McGill - Jerry Sonnal - ’Brantheman455’ - ’’ - Zak Bennett - Jeff Short - ’walleye truth2power’ - Spencer Scott - RayJayOB - Sean Sheldon - Marvin Tobar - Lee Roberts - ’Mr. Unknown’ - ’’ - ’Skydog’ - jaden - Jesse - Sabrina Bewey - Kelly Goodwin - ’Jun’ - ’Xenik’ - ’Rom’ - kyle McBurnett - ’Fishy Tuna’ - ’GotsNoGroove Cheryl’ - ’CombatKid’ - Exus Altimus - ’Dawesenm’ - Paul Rohrbaugh - ’Krazy KZ’ - Koby Bland - Christopher Payne - Zach Williams - Michael R Sheffield - Rich Biggs - ’JTrip’ - Brant Eaton - James Pringle - ’’ - ’Sopaul’ - Lisa Overly - Connor Davies - ’Necko’ - Gerardo Flores - Anthony Eufemio - ’Donkbot’ - Gage Kissinger - ’coco Coco’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support us on Patreon: Follow us on X: - Links to the Best Dash Cams you can buy.
