How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Officers Ted Paxton and "Skip" Earhart chased Brian Gregory Jr., who they were trying to arrest on a parole violation, through the Merrit mobile home park at about 5:30 p.m. Witnesses said one of the officers tackled Gregory from behind and used a choke hold, and that Gregory's head hit a parked car as he went down. Witnesses also said the officers sat on Gregory after handcuffing him. Shortly after he was arrested, Gregory became unresponsive and died.
