Deputy files civil lawsuit against 9-1-1 caller after he was injured during assault at her home

It's something you would probably least expect after calling 9-1-1 during an emergency -- a lawsuit. If a deputy was hurt, would you be financially responsible?

The deputy says he was injured when she made that call from her subdivision. In this lawsuit, he claims the homeowner failed to adequately warn 9-1-1 of the dangerous situation he was walking into.

The lawsuit just filed in Harris County is raising some eyebrows.

Sheriff's deputy Brady Pullen is suing a woman named Camina Figueroa after a 9-1-1 call the deputy responded to at Figueroa's Katy home back in December.

The lawsuit claims Pullen was violently and physically attacked by a man who'd allegedly been using bath salts as a drug for several days.

"Look, it's unprecedented" Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia said. "So we're allowing our legal staff to manage this case and we'll see where it takes us."

Sheriff Garcia wouldn't say much about Pullen's civil lawsuit but called the filing by his deputy unprecedented.

In the court documents, Pullen alleges Figueroa was negligent because she knew the man's mental state rendered him a danger to others.

Pullen says he suffered a broken nose, concussion, lacerations and bruises when the man in Figueroa's house attacked him. That man was ultimately shot and killed after investigators say he reached for Pullen's gun.

A frightened woman called for help saying there was an emergency at her home.
Camina Figueroa told 911 operators that her son-in-law, Kemal Yazar, was acting crazy after doing drugs, namely bath salts, for several days straight. She told them she needed an ambulance.
Along with the paramedics, Harris County Deputy Brady Pullen was also dispatched because Yazar was acting aggressively.....

I say, more power to the deputy. Figueroa allows someone in her house to do drugs, she's complicit. I bet she's no choir girl herself. This dovetails with a program I watched on the NatGeo channel, where a meth cook burned himself over 90% of his body. So, natuarally, he's in a hospital where over a million dollars has been spent to keep him alive and skin graft him back to normal. These damn freaks trash their lives then run calling for help from the police and hospital. Too bad, let them deal with it on their own.
