The deputy approached the vehicle to find Theresa Carbajal, 44, of Tahoe City, Calif., and a male companion arguing. He asked the two to step out of the car and Carbajal was visibly intoxicated.
Peterson said her male counterpart, who was electric-wheelchair bound, attempted a few "diversionary tactics" to distract the deputy while Carbajal attempted to stash something in her car.
The man made two threats to the deputy, first saying he would run the deputy over with his wheelchair. The man charged the deputy in his chair, and the deputy stepped up on a kerb to avoid the man, Peterson said.
Next, the man threatened suicide by ingesting a full bottle of prescription Viagra. "I'm not even sure if that could kill someone, but I'm sure it wouldn't be good," Peterson said.
By that point, a second deputy arrived and the two were able to subdue the subject and wrestle the Viagra away from the man before he was able to ingest any pills. Then they turned their attention to Carbajal. Peterson said the two handcuffed her before searching her vehicle. Inside, they found what amounted to 77 grams of presumed cocaine.
