How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Pinet had been arrested and held on attempted burglary, but uncharged. In a struggle with deputies he had a "spit mask" put on his face, which was incorrectly adjusted. In combination with the position of his body it impaired his ability to breathe. A county video recorded his suffocation.
