SAN BERNARDINO - The former San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy on trial for shooting an unarmed man at the end of a high-speed car chase repeatedly gave his colleagues wrong information about his whereabouts, making it difficult for backup officers to find and assist him, according to a recording of police-radio traffic played in court Thursday morning.

On the recording, Webb is heard giving dispatchers at least three wrong locations as he held Carrion at gunpoint.

"Ivory, you have to give us a better (location)," a colleague called out to him over the radio.

Webb is on trial in San Bernardino Superior Court charged with attempted voluntary manslaughter and assault with a firearm in connection with the shooting of Carrion on Jan. 29, 2006.

Webb, 46, shot Carrion at the end of a dangerous, high-speed car chase in Chino.

Carrion was a passenger in the car, which was driven by his friend, Luis Fernando Escobedo. The chase ended when Escobedo lost control and crashed into a wall at Francis Street and Benson Avenue.

A nearby resident videotaped the shooting. Prosecutors said the tape shows Webb shooting Carrion as Carrion complied with the deputy's orders to surrender.

Webb contends he shot after Carrion reached into his jacket as though he were grabbing for a weapon.

Prosecutors began playing the recording of the night's police radio traffic Wednesday afternoon, but paused for the evening recess. They resumed playing it Thursday morning.

According to the recording, Webb never told dispatchers when he first spotted the Corvette speed past him or when he began to give chase.

His first radio transmission did not come until he reported he was holding two suspects at gunpoint near Francis Street and Ramona Avenue - several miles east of his true whereabouts.

Seconds later, a frantic Webb is heard yelling "shots fired," and then "I got one down."

As other officers and paramedics rushed to the scene, Webb again reported an erroneous location before finally getting his whereabouts correct.

While prosecutors contend the recording illustrates mistakes made by Webb that night, the former deputy's attorneys claim it shows the sort of stress and pressure Webb was under while trying to pursue and arrest two potentially dangerous chase suspects.

Webb's attorney, Michael Schwartz, has told jurors the deputy only gave mistaken reports of his location because he was genuinely lost.

The chase took him into unfamiliar streets within Chino city limits, outside his normal beat, Schwartz said. The streets were unlit, and street signs were small and difficult to see, the defense attorney said.

Also during the trial Thursday, prosecutors showed jurors graphic photographs of Carrion lying bloody on a Chino street minutes after he was shot.

The disturbing images, which showed paramedics tending to gunshots on Carrion's shoulder, chest and leg, prompted sobs from some courtroom observers.

In the first photograph, Carrion was lying on the street handcuffed and bleeding.

Subsequent photos showed paramedics cutting away Carrion's clothing as they tended to his wounds. Holes from the bullets could clearly be seen near his left underarm, on his chest and on his left leg.

Blood soaked his clothing and was smeared across parts of his body.

He wore a white sneaker on one foot. Near his wounded body were the bullet casings ejected from Webb's gun.

San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputy Charles Carter, who was on the scene that night, testified it is routine for deputies to keep suspects who have been shot handcuffed until they are searched for weapons and the location is secure.

"We don't know at that point what we have," Carter testified. "He could still be dangerous."

Webb faces up to 18 years in prison if convicted as charged. He no longer works for the Sheriff's Department.

Testimony in his trial will continue Monday, when Carrion is expected on the witness stand. [MORE]
