Armed with Plastic, Doug Subdues Crazed Biker

"[...] Finally around 9:15 p.m., police were able to get a clear view of Kokolios inside the garage and used a Sage gun to bring him down. The gun shoots a non-lethal plastic cylinder about the size of a golf ball, American Canyon Police Chief Doug Koford said. When Kokolios hit the ground, officers rushed the garage and took him into custody. But he didn't go willingly, Koford said. 'He was very belligerent and uncooperative. He was yelling at everyone, including the time he was talking to the negotiators,' Koford said. Kokolios had to be subdued in a body wrap, which restrained his legs and arms, Koford said. During the time Kokolios was inside the garage, he started his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Koford said several times Kokolios attempted to crash the motorcycle through the door, but was unable to do so because law enforcement had secured the door. After he was taken down, Kokolios was taken by ambulance to Queen of the Valley Hospital were he was treated for the cut to his arm and carbon monoxide inhalation from the motorcycle fumes. "
