Less-than-lethal force
Police responded to a family disturbance at a home. The family of the suspect told police the man, Ernesto Carrman, was causing a disturbance and throwing items around inside the house. When the officers arrived, they made contact with Carrman. The officers said they attempted to place him in handcuffs, but Carrman resisted and tried to punch on of the officers. The officers said they then used their taser on Carrman to try to bring him under control, but it did not have any effect on him. The officers said they were eventually able to handcuff Carrman and called EMS to the scene to evaluate him. He died inside the EMS unit.
This record exists so that Ernesto Carrman, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
