Vallejo, California – On June 19, 2022, 28-year-old Jason Thompson was suffering from an apparent mental health crisis when Solano County Sheriff’s Deputies Esteben Greenwood, Eduardo Borrego and John Robertson encountered him at the corner of Pennsylvania and Sutter streets. Thompson was holding several handsaw blades and body cam video shows deputies exiting their vehicles and drawing their guns as Thompson throws one of the blades toward Robertson. Robertson and Greenwood begin backing away from Thompson, who begins to approach them as the deputies issue commands for him to stop.
