Two years after a deputy tased a handcuffed man, and following millions in lawsuit payouts, the department's use of less-lethal weapons is coming under scrutiny.
after a Maywood man died when he was beaten and tased by deputies responding to a call from his mother, who said he was in the midst of a mental health crisis.
The deputies went to the backyard and started calling the man’s name. When they spotted him, they ordered him to come out with his hands up. “The fourth tasing appears accidental,” the memo said. Video shows that the deputy didn’t aim the stun gun that time and, according to the memo, seemed surprised that it had gone off.
Seven months later, the Sheriff’s Department sent the case to the district attorney’s office so prosecutors could decide whether to file criminal charges.
