Several patrol officers responded to the suspicious person, who was described as screaming and yelling at children playing football in the area. Patrol officers arrived and located a male matching the description given. As the officers made contact with the male, they made the decision to arrest him for public intoxication. The subject was told he was under arrest. He was handcuffed without incident and officer walked him to a waiting patrol car. Once at the patrol car, the subject began to resist transportation by refusing to allow officers to secure him in the vehicle. The officers responded to his resistance by delivering several hand and knee strikes, as well as securing the subject's feet in a three-point restraint system. The subject continued to resist causing the officers to remove him from the vehicle and place him, laying on his back, in the grass next to the roadway. Due to the subject's demeanor and actions, patrol officers called for Emergency Medical Services to check the wellbeing of the subject. Temple Fire and Rescue arrived on scene and began to assess the subject. While conducting their assessment, the subject became unresponsive. CPR was started and continued on scene, during transport and upon arrival at Baylor Scott and White Hospital, 2401 S. 31st Street, Temple, TX. At about 9:07 PM, medical staff at Baylor Scott and White Hospital pronounced the subject deceased. Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 7 --- PAGE BREAK --- Custodial Death Report :: Page 7 of 7
