(RALEIGH, N.C.) — Six Raleigh, North Carolina police officers are on administrative leave and a man's family and friends are looking for answers after he died hours after getting tased by police.
Darryl Tyree Williams allegedly yelled that he had heart problems as the officers tased him during the Jan. 17 arrest, according to a preliminary report issued Monday by the Raleigh Police Department. After becoming unresponsive and showing no signs of a pulse, police and an EMS team tried to resuscitate Williams, who was taken to a hospital where he died an hour later, the report said.
The report named six Raleigh police officers who were involved in the incident: C.D. Robinson, J.T. Thomas, D.L. Aquino, J.R. Scott, D.L. Grande, and B L. Ramge. All officers were in uniform and driving marked cars when the incident was recorded on body cameras and dash cameras, the report said.Around 1:55 a.m., Robinson and Thomas were conducting a patrol of Rock Quarry Road and asked for backup to which Aquino responded, according to the report.
Williams allegedly resisted getting handcuffed, which prompted the officers to call for backup, according to the report. The officers then gave verbal warnings for Williams to comply or he would be tased, and Robinson deployed his Taser after Williams allegedly didn't obey the order, according to the report.
Officer Thomas made contact with his Taser on Williams' side, while Officer Robinson made contact with his Taser on the left side of Mr. Williams' back, the report said.
