California man accused of throwing Molotov cocktail at police
[FOXNEWS] A Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, man was arrested Wednesday night after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at police.

According to the Corning Police Department, this wasn't the first time Russ tossed a Molotov cocktail toward cops. Russ had an active arrest warrant for a previous incident in late July when he threw a Molotov cocktail near where the police department stages marked patrol cars.

Russ was booked into the Tehama County Jail on several charges
At approximately 5:40 p.m. on Wednesday, officers with the Corning Police Department began investigating a loud banging noise that was coming from outside the police department on the 700 block of Fourth Street.

The suspect, later identified as 32-year-old Cassidy Russ, began "fumbling with an item near the front of his waistband," the police department said in a blurb. As the officers gave the suspect verbal commands, Russ lit a Molotov cocktail and threw it toward police. The Molotov cocktail missed the officer and went kaboom! near a parked vehicle.
Officers used baton strikes and pain compliance techniques to subdue Russ, who continued to resist arrest, police said. Officers eventually took Russ into custody by placing him in handcuffs under sustained resistance.

A Molotov cocktail is a homemade bomb made from a bottle filled with gasoline and stuffed with a piece of cloth that is lit just before the bottle is thrown.

Police say that Russ was observed by an officer walking away from the police department following the deployment of the bomb and onto Solano Street.

Authorities say officers pursued Russ after observing him near the department. An off duty officer tackled Russ on the 1300 block of Solano Street, but Russ continued to resist arrest by concealing his hands by his waistband and backpack.

Russ was booked into the Tehama County Jail
...Tehama County is in the northern end of the Sacramento Valley — in the northern part of California...
on several charges, including attempted murder, possession of an bomb, arson, battery on a peace officer and resisting arrest. He is being held without bail at the Tehama County Jail and is set to appear in court next week on Dec. 6.

#1 I'm surprised he is being held without bail. Tehama County must not have elected a Soros prosecutor.

#2 "Officers used baton strikes and pain compliance techniques to subdue Russ, who continued to resist arrest..."

Outstanding, the Hickory Massage reappears at last as a compliance technique.

#4 Did he have that makeup before his arrest?

#5 I trust the cops conducted many 'brake checks' while Russ was in the paddy wagon.

#6 He'll probably get a slap on the wrist like that lawyer person in NYC.
