How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Dehmann, autistic, was driven home by Corporal Travis Tharp around 6 p.m. after being hospitalized for intoxication and a possible head injury. He continued to drink vodka until he was arrested, after a struggle, by Tharp and others, around 7:43 p.m. At Knox County Sheriff's Office, he hit his head after he hit a deputy, who threw him to the ground. Dehmann was rushed to a hospital, where he died.
