According to reports from CNN a man identified as Anthony Dewayne (35) has died after he was pepper sprayed.
He was arrested by Alabama police
he was pepper-sprayed, and investigators are trying to figure out
why.
A Tuscaloosa resident called police Friday night after spotting
Anthony Dewayne Ware, 35, sitting on the front porch of a
home with a gun, police said.
"Mr. Ware had an active warrant that had been verified for
attempting to elude police," Tuscaloosa police Assistant Chief
Ronnie Dunn said.
When officers arrived, police said, Ware fled.
"Officers chased him into the woods, and when the officers
caught up to him, he resisted arrest," Dunn said.
Police pepper-sprayed Ware, who continued struggling but was
eventually handcuffed, Dunn said. But while officers were walking
out of the woods with him, Ware collapsed.
Officers performed CPR and called for medical help, police said.
But after arriving at a local hospital, Ware was pronounced dead.
Investigators from inside and outside the Tuscaloosa Police
Department have launched a probe into the death.
Dunn said the incident was captured on video, which will be
released to the public "as soon as the Tuscaloosa County
homicide investigators say it can be released without hindering the
ongoing investigation."
