Less-than-lethal force
A store employee called police to report a man staggering and possibly under the influence of drugs. Sheriff's deputies responded to the situation with the assistance of a Psychiatric Emergency Response Team (PERT) clinician. After being shot with a stun gun, the man was put in hand and leg restraints; yet continued to struggle with deputies. Deputies believed the man was suffering from a drug overdose so they gave him Naloxone. He died a short time later.
