Antonio Santiago Rodriguez

Less-than-lethal force

Officers E.A. Lopez and M.A. Matus responded to a call by an ambulance crew that had difficulty restraining Rodriguez, who was intoxicated and flailing around on the ground. Officers Matus tasered Rodriguez four times between officers' and paramedics' three attempts to restrain him. Rodriguez had no vital signs by the time he was strapped to a gurney and put in the ambulance.
