Less-than-lethal force

Police said they responded to a report of a suspicious person at around 10 p.m. and found Moss growling and salivating outside. Moss allegedly refused to cooperate, so officers Tasered him, but said it had no effect. Officers then dry stunned Moss with the Taser before placing him in handcuffs and leg restraints. Moss reportedly appeared to go into cardiac arrest and died at a hospital. Officials claimed that Moss died due to a toxic level of PCP and an irregular heartbeat.
