The police report from Jose “Chille” DeCastro’s March 15, 2023, incident with police has been released. Special thanks to Dan and Becca from the Welsh News Network for providing us with a copy.
The six page report begins with Officer Branden Bourque’s description of the traffic stop that got DeCastro’s attention. Officer Bourque pulled over a driver for driving with an expired and suspended license plate.
During Bourque’s criminal and DMV records check of the driver, he spotted DeCastro approach the driver’s side window of the detained driver’s car and begin to talk to them. The officer exited his vehicle and told DeCastro that he could film but he needed to stay away from the driver.
Officer Bourque warned DeCastro that he would be detained if he did not step away from the vehicle. DeCastro replied by ordering the officer to “mind your own fucking business. Mind your business… I’m a member of the press. Go get in your car and do your job, little doggie!”
Bourque then decided to release the driver as the charges against her were relatively minor and he felt he could not safely complete the traffic stop in the presence of DeCastro. The officer established probable cause for the interference in a traffic stop charges and began a person stop on DeCastro, treating the incident as a separate encounter.
The rest of the report details the struggle with a resistive DeCastro and plays out without deviation from the video that DeCastro was live streaming during his arrest. Officer Bourque did not feel that DeCastro intended to harm him when DeCastro swatted his hand away at the start of the struggle.
From there, DeCastro was restrained with help from a second officer. Bourque later discovered his body camera was switched off during the struggle. The missing footage from the struggle was apparently captured by the second officer’s body camera. Bourque restarted his camera and it remained on for the rest of the encounter with DeCastro.
The decision was made to take DeCastro into custody as the officers felt that because he was uncooperative to the point that he wouldn’t even allow the officers to tell him the reasoning behind his detainment, he would have continued his alleged criminal behavior if released at the scene.
DeCastro has been charged with resisting arrest and interfering with an officer. No court date has been announced as it is unclear if the district attorney has decided to prosecute DeCastro for the incident.
The notoriously bad personal information section of the police report indicates that DeCastro is 5’8” tall, weighs 170 pounds, has green eyes, brown hair and is non-Hispanic or Latino for Ethnicity with race listed as white.
