Man died as a result of Texas brain injury
June 24, 2010
Tasers can be an important line of defense for law enforcement. However, they also present a health risk. One situation that resulted from a routine traffic stop highlights that necessity and risk.
According to the Houston Chronicle, when a sheriff’s deputy pulled over a 42-year-old man for a routine traffic stop, he did not know the man would become violent. The officer was involved in a scuffle with the man, who tried to flee.
The deputy then used a Taser on the man, causing him to fall to the ground and hit his head.
The man suffered a Texas head injury as a result and was reported dead.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Department and the medical examiner are still investigating the Texas brain injury incident and the cause of death.
