Deputies stormed a home to serve warrants on Bradley R. Hartz, who they said had threatened officers and others. Hartz allegedly began fighting with the deputies before collapsing at the scene. Hartz died later at a hospital. Hartz' death was attributed to nonspecific cardiomegaly and coronary atherosclerosis, officials said. According to the department, one deputy was bitten on his thigh, another was hit in the head; a third suffered a broken wrist, and a fourth sustained wrist and hand injuries.
