OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On October 20, 2025, Fresno Police detectives identified 32-year-old Isaac Hare, a former Madera County Sheriff’s Deputy, as the suspect in a retail theft and officer impersonation case. Detectives arranged to meet Hare at a Fresno Police facility, where he was taken into custody after resisting arrest and being stunned with a Taser. Hare was transported to Community Regional Medical Center for evaluation and treatment. While under hospital supervision, he attacked an officer during a bathroom break, gained control of the officer’s firearm, and fatally shot himself. Hare had previously served as a Madera County deputy before his employment ended under undisclosed circumstances. The Fresno Police Department is conducting an internal investigation, and the officer involved has been placed on administrative leave. Law enforcement experts noted Hare’s former training may have contributed to his ability to seize the firearm in a secured setting, raising questions about supervision and custody procedures.
