Sean Raymond Hopkins

Less-than-lethal force

A manager reported that Hopkins left water running in his unit, causing damage to an apartment beneath his. When officers confronted Hopkins, he stabbed officer Dwight Snyder in the stomach. Hopkins reportedly continued to struggle with police officers, who eventually handcuffed him. Officers were holding Hopkins down when another officer checked for a pulse. When the officer determined that Hopkins wasn't breathing, another officer started chest compressions. Medics revived Hopkins at the scene and took him to the hospital.
