 Ryan had just been released from jail and was traveling with his father, Jason Ryan, when he abruptly exited their moving vehicle. According to the report, Deputy McCohen encountered Hayden, who exhibited aggressive behavior and appeared to be under the influence of narcotics. Despite the commands to stay in the vehicle, Hayden repeatedly exited and approached McCohen aggressively. Concerned for safety, McCohen requested backup. Deputy Cody Bright arrived and, after Hayden ignored commands and continued to advance, deployed a taser to subdue him.
