Jeremy Lee Bell Foos

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Foos ran his pickup truck into a concrete pillar. As police approached the pickup was spinning its tires at full speed, as if to escape, and Foos was in the cab rocking violently back and forth. Puzzled and threatened, with difficulty, and with an ax and Taser, local officers extracted Foos and found he was naked from the waist down. Foos suffered a seizure from the combination of the Taser and drugs in his system. He died days later. Legal action reached the Sixth Circuit.
