Javier Ambler was driving home from playing poker, when he failed to dim the headlights of his SUV to oncoming traffic. A Williamson County sheriff's deputy initiated a stop and began chasing him. After Ambler apparently refused to pull over, a pursuit that lasted 22 minutes and ended when Ambler's Honda Pilot crashed. Minutes later, Ambler, a 40-year-old father of two, was killed. Records obtained by the KVUE Defenders and the Austin American-Statesman showed that Deputies J.J. Johnson, Zach Camden shocked him with stun guns on him at least three times, even as he told them multiple times that he had a heart condition and could not breathe. A reality TV television show was riding along. Williamson County reached a $5 million settlement with the family in December 2021.
