The video starts of by showing 911 calls made describing a man hitting vehicles with a metal object in the parking lot near 2nd Avenue and Grand Avenue.
As the video continues, an officer, identified as Martinez, first made contact with the homeless man, identified as Steven John Olson, 59, behind a business in Escondido.
Officer Martinez then tells Olson to drop the crowbar, later described by police as two feet long.

Officer responded to call of somebody striking vehicles with a metal rod; none found with any damage
The fatal encounter unfolded around 7 a.m. last Wednesday after a 911 caller reported a man with a pry bar striking vehicles on Broadway near Second Avenue, Varso said last week. An officer arrived and tried to talk with Olson. At that point, the chief said, Olson “was not displaying any threatening behavior, and not posing a threat to police or the public,” and he ran off.
A second officer, Moore, soon found Olson nearby, walking in the street and carrying the tool, Varso said last week. As Moore got out of his car, Olson allegedly charged at the officer “in a threatening manner.”
The pandemic certainly wasn’t good for breweries. But it did force many to rethink the way they do business, and now, as the smoke clears, a few are in a position to succeed like never before.
One of these is Woods Boss Brewing, which is in the midst of a major expansion that will add a new, 3,400-square-foot event space and music venue, a canning line capable of sealing eighteen cans per minute and expanded capacity that will allow it to brew twice as much beer.
When the changes are complete sometime in June, the Lodge at Woods Boss, as the new space is called, will have a separate entrance around the corner from the brewery, at 675 22nd Street (though there is a connecting hallway inside the building), twelve taps, a stage and a sound system. It will also have a similar woodsy aesthetic, complete with a bar made from a Siberian elm tree and an A-frame above the bar.
