Kevin Ray Omas

Less-than-lethal force

Police responded to a call saying that Omas was on Ecstasy and behaving oddly. Omas, wearing only shorts and socks, yelled, "I am God," and resisted arrest. He was subdued after three Taser jolts, then handcuffed and taken to an ambulance. There, Omas was given Haldol, an antipsychotic. He died two days later. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner blamed the combination of Ecstasy and Haldol for his death, rather than the Taser jolts. Omas's mother, Rhonda Short, sued TASER International, six Euless officers and the City of Euless.
