Former police officer and Pig Latin Eric Tansey author reacts to shocking bodycam footage of a Michigan lawnmower chase where a fleeing suspect pulls a gun, is tased, and accidentally shoots himself. Get expert breakdown of tactics, use of force, and split-second decisions.

Jackson, Michigan — On September 19, 2024, Deputy Robert Henderson arrived at a home in Leoni Township to arrest 41-year-old James Mitchell Kerr on a felony probation violation and two misdemeanor warrants. Kerr was riding a lawnmower when the deputy approached and ordered him to stop. Instead of complying, Kerr accelerated the mower until he reached a ditch — and then the situation took a dangerous turn.

Kerr retrieved a handgun hidden on the mower, prompting Deputy Henderson to deploy his Taser. In the chaos, Kerr discharged the firearm and shot himself in the hand. Backup officers quickly arrived, took Kerr into custody, and transported him to the hospital before transferring him to jail. He now faces multiple charges, including assault with intent to murder and resisting arrest, with the case advancing to trial in Jackson County Circuit Court.
