Darren Faulkner

Less-than-lethal force

Unarmed Faulkner was pepper-sprayed and tasered for being uncooperative as county officers attempted to break up a late-afternoon fight on the lawn of a rural residence in the southeastern part of the county. Eventually 8 to 10 officers were involved in trying to subdue Faulkner, who was apparently tasered after he was cuffed and down. He died shortly afterward.
