The location is a grocery store. Calls were being made to police stating the decedent was inside the store, wearing only underwear, and was acting erratically. Call details stated the decedent had “grabbed a female”, implying the potential for aggression or an assault may have taken place. An SAPD officer entered the store and observed citizens trying to control the decedent. Due to the erratic behavior of the decedent, the officer gave verbal commands and attempted to physically restrain the decedent. The decedent disobeyed verbal commands and physically resisted being detained. With the assistance of two citizens, the decedent was taken to the ground and eventually placed in handcuffs and detained. While handcuffed, the lone officer kept the decedent in the prone position to prevent the decedent from rising off the ground. After a short period of time the decedent became unresponsive. The initial officer, as well as other arriving officers, immediately removed the handcuffs and initiated CPR on the decedent. EMS arrived and would ultimately pronounce the decedent as deceased at the scene. Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 7 --- PAGE BREAK --- Custodial Death Report :: Page 7 of 7
