The 27-year-old says he was protecting his fiancé from a group of rowdy men when deputies arrested him for public intoxication and resisting arrest. He was taken to the Mendocino County Jail and, he said, he immediately felt panicked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was just completely overwhelmed with how scared my kids must have been. What they must have been thinking,” said Benevich, who has an anxiety disorder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost immediately Benevich asked Zaied, the jail supervisor at the time, to place him in a larger cell because small spaces increase his anxiety. He didn’t want to be in jail over the Father’s Day weekend and transcripts of jail audio show Benevich was adamant, he was “going to smash his head open to get the [expletive] out of this room.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaied opted to move Benevich to a padded cell. Benevich was handcuffed with two deputies each holding one of his arms. All involved agree this part went smoothly until Benevich saw the small cell he was being transferred to. Benevich estimated the cell was “one-third the size” of the one he’d just left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benevich dug his heels into the ground and begged not to be put in the smaller cell, deputies told investigators. At some point, Benevich pulled to one side, and the guards pushed him into a wall. Then, Zaied tased him without warning. “I wasn’t even fighting you guys,” said Benevich while crying, according to a recording.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with reporters, Benevich said, “I remember my head hitting the wall. It’s a pain that is in every bone and muscle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guards then put Benevich in the cell, where he fell to his knees. Forty-seconds after the first shock, Zaied tased him again. Benevich stopped breathing and went into a seizure while mucus dripped from his nose. He was rushed to a hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think [Zaied] decided to put him into renal failure and put him into a seizure. But he decided to use force, not knowing enough information to know if it was safe,” said Schwaiger, Benevich’s attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaied did not return calls for comment. But documents show he told internal affairs investigators Benevich was fighting deputies and that he tased him because the inmate was “in danger.” He continued, “Staff was in danger ... it went from controlled to uncontrolled pretty fast.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the other deputies, including the two holding his arms, told investigators a different story. All thought the use of the Taser was unnecessary, documents show. A nurse who was present also described the tasing as excessive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It could have been avoided due to the fact that, you know, the four of us could have probably gained control,” Deputy Issac Sanchez told Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department investigators who did an independent investigation at the request of Mendocino County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11795567\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11795567\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Mendo-Sanchez-Transcript-Exerpt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1306\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Mendo-Sanchez-Transcript-Exerpt.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Mendo-Sanchez-Transcript-Exerpt-160x109.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Mendo-Sanchez-Transcript-Exerpt-800x544.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Mendo-Sanchez-Transcript-Exerpt-1020x694.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Mendo-Sanchez-Transcript-Exerpt-1200x816.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An excerpt from a transcript of a Aug. 3, 2017 interview of Mendocino County Sheriff's Deputy Isaac Sanchez, conducted by Sgt. Marcus Gregory, about the use of a taser on a handcuffed inmate. \u003ccite>(Via Mendocino County Sheriff)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Zaied was eventually found to have violated several department and county policies, including using a Taser on a handcuffed inmate, according to findings by Mendocino County Undersheriff Randy Johnson. He recommended Zaied be demoted, but Zaied fought the findings, and through a settlement agreement, was able to remove some of the policy violations from his record. But his demotion to correctional deputy remained. Zaied now works as a background investigator for new hires at the jail, according to an online bio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day before he tased Benevich, Zaied had tased another inmate who was also handcuffed and described in documents as mentally ill. Fernando Martinez, a war veteren diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, was being put back into a padded cell when the incident occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaied said use of force was necessary with Martinez, and that using the Taser minimized the risk of injury for everyone there, according to the report. Martinez told investigators he was “pretty out of it” and that he may have “tensed up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time of both tasings, records show Zaied’s taser certification had expired more than 10 years earlier. He completed Taser training in 2006. It expired in 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman, who recently retired, did not return requests for comment on the training or the incident. But in the final Letter of Reprimand, he concluded that during the Benevich incident, while Zaied’s “intent was not malicious, [he] failed to appreciate other options available to [him] prior to the discharge of the Taser.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the demotion, Zaied’s salary remained roughly the same. According to an online website that tracks state salaries, \u003ca href=\"https://transparentcalifornia.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Transparent California\u003c/a>, he made roughly $149,000 in total pay and benefits in 2018 compared to about $142,000 in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Izaak Schwaiger, Benevich's attorney\"]'I don’t think [Zaied] decided to put him into renal failure and put him into a seizure. But he decided to use force, not knowing enough information to know if it was safe'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spokesperson for the Mendocino County District Attorney’s Office, Mike Geniella, said District Attorney David Eyster planned to file criminal charges on Zaied, but changed his mind after the case was reviewed by an outside use of force expert who found no wrongdoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A consultant who did the investigation, Jeffery Martin, concluded that Zaied’s actions were reasonable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his report, Jeffrey Martin wrote that there is nothing to indicate that the Taser or actions of Zaied or the deputies contributed to Benevich’s medical event. Martin argued that Benevich appeared to have “perceived the pain during the event,” and that he was given sufficient time to comply with commands. Martin also wrote that Benevich actively tried to hook one of the deputy’s legs, which could have caused deputies to lose control of him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwaiger, Benevich’s lawyer — who specializes in police brutality cases — disputes this account, saying there was no provocation, making the tasing particularly egregious. Schwaiger suspects that is part of the reason the county was quick to settle, offering an agreement even before a lawsuit was filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In exchange for $180,000, Benevich agreed to release the county of all liability and agreed to a confidentiality clause: Benevich couldn’t talk about the settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of course, they didn’t want it to be public record,” said Schwaiger. “The only thing that municipalities hate worse than paying money is bad press.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For two years, the incident remained secret. Schwaiger says that the incident between Benevich and Zaied is exactly what the new transparency law was designed to reveal. However, he worries the onslaught of news stories that have followed the passage of the law detract from the seriousness of each individual case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11786993\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-800x777.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-1020x990.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1.png 1030w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>This story was produced by the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a>, a coalition of 40 news organizations across the state.

He was taken to the Mendocino County Jail and, he said, he immediately felt panicked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was just completely overwhelmed with how scared my kids must have been. What they must have been thinking,” said Benevich, who has an anxiety disorder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost immediately Benevich asked Zaied, the jail supervisor at the time, to place him in a larger cell because small spaces increase his anxiety. He didn’t want to be in jail over the Father’s Day weekend and transcripts of jail audio show Benevich was adamant, he was “going to smash his head open to get the [expletive] out of this room.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaied opted to move Benevich to a padded cell. Benevich was handcuffed with two deputies each holding one of his arms. All involved agree this part went smoothly until Benevich saw the small cell he was being transferred to. Benevich estimated the cell was “one-third the size” of the one he’d just left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benevich dug his heels into the ground and begged not to be put in the smaller cell, deputies told investigators. At some point, Benevich pulled to one side, and the guards pushed him into a wall. Then, Zaied tased him without warning. “I wasn’t even fighting you guys,” said Benevich while crying, according to a recording.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with reporters, Benevich said, “I remember my head hitting the wall.

He recommended Zaied be demoted, but Zaied fought the findings, and through a settlement agreement, was able to remove some of the policy violations from his record. But his demotion to correctional deputy remained. Zaied now works as a background investigator for new hires at the jail, according to an online bio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day before he tased Benevich, Zaied had tased another inmate who was also handcuffed and described in documents as mentally ill. Fernando Martinez, a war veteren diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, was being put back into a padded cell when the incident occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zaied said use of force was necessary with Martinez, and that using the Taser minimized the risk of injury for everyone there, according to the report. Martinez told investigators he was “pretty out of it” and that he may have “tensed up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time of both tasings, records show Zaied’s taser certification had expired more than 10 years earlier. He completed Taser training in 2006. It expired in 2007.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman, who recently retired, did not return requests for comment on the training or the incident. But in the final Letter of Reprimand, he concluded that during the Benevich incident, while Zaied’s “intent was not malicious, [he] failed to appreciate other options available to [him] prior to the discharge of the Taser.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the demotion, Zaied’s salary remained roughly the same. According to an online website that tracks state salaries, \u003ca href=\"https://transparentcalifornia.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Transparent California\u003c/a>, he made roughly $149,000 in total pay and benefits in 2018 compared to about $142,000 in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"'I don’t think [Zaied] decided to put him into renal failure and put him into a seizure.

Martin argued that Benevich appeared to have “perceived the pain during the event,” and that he was given sufficient time to comply with commands. Martin also wrote that Benevich actively tried to hook one of the deputy’s legs, which could have caused deputies to lose control of him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwaiger, Benevich’s lawyer — who specializes in police brutality cases — disputes this account, saying there was no provocation, making the tasing particularly egregious. Schwaiger suspects that is part of the reason the county was quick to settle, offering an agreement even before a lawsuit was filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In exchange for $180,000, Benevich agreed to release the county of all liability and agreed to a confidentiality clause: Benevich couldn’t talk about the settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of course, they didn’t want it to be public record,” said Schwaiger. “The only thing that municipalities hate worse than paying money is bad press.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For two years, the incident remained secret.

Mark Albert, who specializes in self-sufficient food production and has researched the best fruit and vegetable cultivars for the local climate, taught a course on scionology: the art of grafting scions onto root stalks to grow diverse varieties of plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Albert has developed a concept he likes to call the “cult of the cultivar.” He said that cultivars — or the individual plants that completely adapt to a region — become the foundation for a culture to survive there. Plants, more than anything else, were the reason humans were able to settle down, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725280\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11725280 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/IMG_9557-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Attendees listen to Mark Albert talk about how to graft scions in his scionology course. \u003ccite>(Hope McKenney/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“People have been traveling and moving plants around forever.
