Dallas police were investigating the
circumstances surrounding the apprehension of a man who died after
being taken into custody. Police said the incident started when they
tried to restrain Pedro Fernandez, 33, who was allegedly involved in a
domestic disturbance in the 3800 block of Mount Ranier Street in West
Dallas just before midnight Monday. Four officers responded to the
scene; a fifth was subsequently needed to subdue the 320-pound
man, but not before police used OC spray, a type of pepper spray.
