How they died

Less-than-lethal force

About 8:20 a.m., an Albany PD Community Service Officer stopped to help a stranded driver. That community service officer asked for some "non-emergency" help from a patrol officer. When officers arrived, a fight began, and James F. Plymell III was shocked with a stun gun and died. Officers Emily Schroff, Gina Bell, and Thomas Roten and Community Service Officer Gerry Morris were involved. Autopsy reported the Taser was not cause of death, rather "cardiac complications of acute methamphetamine toxicity."
