Herbert Tyrone Watt

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Herbert Tyrone Watt died while being detained by two officers during a traffic stop initiated because Watt only had paper license plates (he apparently had bought the car very recently). Officers searched him and found a bag of crack cocaine, which they put in the patrol car, police said. Watt then began to struggle with the officers, grabbed the bag, put it in his mouth, and choked on it.

Why we remember them
