PUYALLUP, Wash. — Bodycam posted by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) shows deputies responding to a call of a man and a woman sleeping in a utility truck parked at a Puyallup gas station for over an hour, the sheriff’s office posted on Facebook.

After drug paraphernalia could be seen inside the truck and the two inside refused to open the door, bodycam shows deputies breaking a window and tasing the man while they removed him from the truck.

The 52-year-old man was found with 365 grams of meth, a .38 caliber handgun, and had a federal warrant.

PSCO says the woman was released at the scene but will be charged with obstruction.
