A Clay County sheriffs deputy suffered an incapacitating foot injury Sunday afternoon in Carbon during an arrest that followed several 911 calls.

Frazier did a defensive tactic [against Gilleland], a knee strike to the thigh, where if you hit the nerve ending it kind of stuns a person, Heaton said. Then he did another to try to gain control of this guy.
When Frazier tried a third knee strike, Gilleland twisted wrong and put [the deputy] in a bad position.
Frazier tore his Achilles tendon. He required surgery in Terre Haute Regional Hospital and will be in a cast for six weeks, Heaton said. Frazier is on medical leave.
Good news, bad news...they're teaching this technique to LEOs so I assume they feel there's evidence that's it's effective; yet, this person--who, the story hints, may have been under the influence of some sort of substance--withstood two such (attempted) strikes, and a third attempt resulted in significant injury to the deputy.
