Video of Beau Lamarre’s aggressive Taser takedown of a criminal resurfaces – as he hands himself into police amid search for Channel 10 presenter Jesse Baird and his boyfriend Luke Davies

A viral video of a cop and celebrity pursuer aggressively tasering a man in a suburban garden has resurfaced as he is named as a person of interest in the disappearance of a Channel 10 presenter and his friend .

NSW Police Officer Beau Lamarre-Condon is the ex-boyfriend of former Channel 10 presenter Jesse Baird, 26, who has been missing since Monday along with his flight attendant partner, Luke Davies, 29.

There are serious concerns for their safety, with detectives launching a frantic search for Constable Lamarre after he could not be accounted for in the aftermath of the couple’s disappearance.

He was arrested on Friday morning when he attended Bondi police station in the city’s east, following a raid on his family’s home in Balmain and a search for his rented white van.

Davies and Baird’s bloodied clothes, credit cards, keys, an $8,000 watch and a mobile phone were found in a container at Club Cronulla, in Sydney’s south, on Wednesday.

This led police 30km north to Mr Baird’s Brown Street home, Paddington in Sydney’s east, where officers found enough blood to suggest at least one of the men had been seriously injured.

A year after Lamarre joined the force, he made headlines for a Taser attack on a suspicious man in Rose Terrace, Paddington.

In June 2020, Lamarre chased 31-year-old Kris Bradshaw from Taylor Square in Darlinghurst for 200 meters before becoming involved in a confrontation against a garden wall in Rose Terrace.

What followed was captured on video, with Lamarre yelling at Bradshaw, “Now get on the ground. Five seconds, now lie down on the floor. Lie on the floor, hands down. If you move, I’ll shoot you.’

After first drawing his gun, Lamarre swapped it for a yellow Taser which he fired at Bradshaw, who groaned in pain and shouted, “F***, f*** man, what are you doing, what are you doing?” you doing man’ and ‘I can’t breathe properly’.

Police have charged Bradshaw with intimidation, resisting arrest, theft and trespassing.

When the case went to trial in 2021, Beau Lamarre was called as a witness and told the court that he first stopped Bradshaw because he believed there was a warrant out for his arrest.

Bradshaw’s lawyer Sophie Toomey suggested to the officer that he thought Bradshaw ‘looked a bit strange’ and that it was not true that Bradshaw had been verbally and physically threatening.

Lamarre defended himself on the stand and was complimented by Magistrate Michael Barko, who reminded him that he was not on the witness stand defending his reputation, and that he should stick to giving ‘yes’ and ‘no’ answers .

Mr Barko told the court that ‘it will be difficult for the prosecution to prove resistance if you are trying to protect yourself from electricity’.

But he convicted Bradshaw of resisting arrest and intimidation, fined him and placed him on a six-month community corrections order.

Lamarre was cleared of any wrongdoing in an internal police investigation and refuted suggestions that he had tasered Bradshaw in the face.

Before joining the police force, Beau was best known for chasing celebrities and having his picture taken with them, including Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian and model Miranda Kerr.

Lamarre is said to have had a previous relationship with Baird.

CCTV footage from the couple’s last known whereabouts on Monday evening shows the men wandering outside Mr Baird’s Paddington home before heading to the back of a terrace.

In that vision we see them walking around the corner near Mr. Baird’s patio before stopping to sit on a bench.

Moments later, a white van is seen passing the couple before appearing to drive onto a curb towards Cooper Street, a dead end road.
