Ryan Michael Bain

Less-than-lethal force

Ryan Michael Bain was allegedly spotted naked by off-duty sheriff's deputy, John Smith, running through a neighborhood. Bain ran into a house. As the officer approached the house, Bain bolted, got into the officer's van, and drove off. He crashed several blocks later. Smith tackled Bain as city officers arrived. Officers used a stun gun three times in an effort to subdue Bain. He was taken to the Yellowstone County jail where, authorities said, he continued to be combative and was shocked with a Taser a fourth time. He was later found unresponsive in a holding cell, and died at the hospital less than 48 hours later.
