How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Officers Brandon Bliss, Brendan Talty and Sgt. Sean Paull responded to the Wayside Bar to remove Bradford T. Gibson. Employees said Gibson was grabbing women at the bar. According to police, Bliss told Gibson he was under arrest for trespassing, and got his right hand cuffed before Gibson began resisting. Police and bouncers reportedly got Gibson to the ground, but couldn't finish cuffing him. Gibson allegedly continued struggling after the officers put him in the patrol car. Paull and Bliss tasered Gibson to subdue him so they could shut the car doors, according to the police report. Gibson died about an hour later while continuing to fight with police at the jail. Police said Gibson died of an overdose.
