SEATTLE -- No charges will be filed in the case of a man seriously injured when he was tackled by a King County deputy in Belltown in May.

Christopher Harris, a 29-year-old Edmonds man, was injured when King County sheriff's deputy, Matthew Paul, tackled him against a wall in Belltown in the early hours of Sunday, May 10.

A security camera outside the Cinerama theater caught the end of a foot chase that lasted several blocks. It shows Paul catching up to Harris and pushing him into the wall.

In a statement from Dan Donohoe of the King County Prosecutor's Office, he said, “This was a very tragic incident, but we have no legal basis for a criminal charge.”

He went on to say, “The law provides that an officer ‘shall not be held criminally liable for using force without malice and with a good faith belief that such act is justifiable.’”

“Harris was identified by witnesses to officers as a suspect in a violent crime. He ran for several blocks after he was told to stop by uniformed officers. As the deputy caught up to him, the deputy used a standard take down procedure,” Donohoe said.

Paul will not be charged and is back on the job. However, there is still an ongoing investigation into his conduct.

Harris is still in the hospital in critical condition.
