How they died
No
Two deputies went to a relative's residence to arrest Joiner on a warrant charging him with parole violation. Police said deputies placed handcuffs on one of Joiner's wrists, but he began to resist. A fight ensued, and Joiner broke free, running outside toward the Paw Paw River. Police said deputies used a Mace-like substance on Joiner, but he continued to resist and jumped into the river. A Coloma firefighter located Joiner within 30 minutes, less than 100 feet from where he had been last seen, and he had drowned.
