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.
