The incident occurred as Fontana officers, participating in a gang-related operation with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, pulled over 56-year-old Alan A. Metka of Fontana for traffic violations. The situation took a dangerous turn when a female officer, engaging Metka, found herself in a perilous headlock after discovering he was armed.
