Lewis Sanks King

Less-than-lethal force

King was the subject of a traffic stop, and uncooperative. When the officer reached into his car window while questioning a pill bottle, King rolled forward, briefly dragging the officer along for two blocks. After the officer freed himself, King crashed his car into a wooded area. On foot and still disobedient, Lewis was Tased at least twice, cuffed and had his ankles tied together. His death was attributed to cardiac arrest.
