How they died
Deadly force
Jenson was being booked for driving under the influence of alcohol. He was handcuffed with his hands in front but attacked Officer Chee Burnsides, resulting in a violent struggle. A witness told investigators that Jenson ended up on top of Burnsides, who tried to use a Taser stun gun to subdue Jenson. Jenson gained control of the Taser and was trying to pry it out of the officer's hand when Burnsides shot him three times with his pistol.
