FROM @KXIITV: Officers found Jared Lakey after someone called 911 saying he was running naked down the street and screaming.
Officers tell him to get on the ground and put hands behind his back.
He didnโt comply, but he didnโt fight eitherโฆ.โ Abigail Ogle (@KOCOAbigail) July 15, 2020
โBoth officers decided to rely instead on serial and cumulative taser use,โ said Lakey family attorney Spencer Bryan.
Bryan said the toxicology report was negative for all illegal drugs, but he did have high blood sugar which can cause disorientation and confusion.โ Abigail Ogle (@KOCOAbigail) July 15, 2020
The company that makes the tasers warns offficers to not use them for more than 15 seconds.
In fact, the company has never tested taser use over 45 seconds.
Data logs reveal both officers tased him a total of 53 times totaling to almost four minutes.โ Abigail Ogle (@KOCOAbigail) July 15, 2020
Lakey died at the hospital the next day.
Officers Taylor and Dingman went on working for the next 12 months until they just got arrested for second degree murder.โ Abigail Ogle (@KOCOAbigail) July 15, 2020
