Summary of Incident
Summary of How the Death Occurred: (max. 30,000 characters)

reference to a burglary of a habitation. As deputy arrived, he observed the deceased on foot and was able to

stop and speak with him. Before the deputy could detain the deceased, he fled on foot. The deputy gave
chase for approximately 3 blocks, deployed his taser-making partial contact, and eventually was able to place
the deceased in handcuffs, after a fence he was attempting to jump over collapsed.
EMS was immediately called to the scene due to the Taser being deployed. While waiting for EMS the
deceased advised he was very hot, so deputies removed a black hoodie jacket from his person. EMS arrived
shortly thereafter, and the handcuffs were removed in order to allow them to better check his vitals.
While EMS was on scene the deceased went into cardiac arrest and was transported to the hospital, where
he eventually passed away.
