How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Sauceda was pulled over for suspected drunken driving and resisted field sobriety tests at a police station. Four officers hogtied Sauceda, violating department policy, and took him to Baytown Medical Center. Nurses, seeing that Sauceda was dying, tried to help him. Officers refused to let them intervene. Sauceda died. Two officers were suspended. Three had been disciplined for previous hogtyings. The City of Pasadena settled with Sauceda's family.
