Police use less-lethal force to stop vehicle on N 16th Ave, Phoenix AZ


Police stopped a vehicle on N 16th Ave and W Monroe St with a non-compliant driver. The driver was possibly agitated and moved inside the car, reaching toward the back seat. Officers deployed pepperball and less-lethal rounds and set up spike strips to gain compliance. The driver initially ignored commands but eventually exited the vehicle. The street was blockaded due to concerns the driver might attempt to ram vehicles.
