How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Officers responded to a multi-party fight in progress. Officer William McKinney pepper sprayed, tasered and handcuffed Roy D. Barnhart Sr. While Barnhart was lying on the ground, witnesses said McKinney kicked him in the ribs and the head and struck him with a fist to the head. Barnhart died from a brain bleed caused by the blows a few days later. McKinney pleaded guilty to "Official Misconduct" and was sentenced to 18 months of periodic imprisonment.
