A Sonora Police Officer arrived on scene and made contact with the subject, identified as Carlos Rene Canez, III, 29 years old of Sonora. The officer advised Canez that hospital staff requested he leave the property. As the officer was escorting Canez off the property he made a threat that he would kill the officer if he or his property was touched.
