Mark Andrew Morse

Less-than-lethal force

The Arizona Department of Public Safety sergeant who used the Taser on Morse said the man "became combative" and "took a fighting stance" after officers found him wandering northbound in a southbound carpool lane near Peoria Avenue. He died after a highway patrolman used a Taser during a February freeway scuffle suffered a heart attack triggered by methamphetamine abuse, according to an autopsy report.
