Batrone Jermal Hedgepeth

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Local police came to arrest for Hedgepeth for a small open-container violation which had snowballed when he failed to appear for his court date. During the arrest the police struggled with him and pepper-sprayed him. From some combination of cocaine toxicity, ingesting vomit, an enlarged heart, and delayed medical attention, he died. Some reports misspell the first name as "Batrane."
