Black Man Dies in Toledo Police Custody

• Suspect hit by Taser on 9 occasions

Jeffrey Turner stood in the street behind the closed Toledo Museum of Art for nearly 40 minutes before a security guard called police. Almost four hours after the 41-year-old was approached by police on a suspicious-person call Monday night from the museum, he was dead. City police shocked Turner five times with a Taser - a gun that administers 50,000 volts of electricity to subdue a person - after he refused to identify himself and did not comply with police instructions.Police were sent to the museum on Monroe Street after receiving a call about 5:30 p.m. from a security guard about a man standing on Grove Place near the museum's rear entrance, said Jordan Rundgren, a museum spokesman. Toledo police Officers Douglas Lewis and Brian Young reported that they asked Turner for his identification. When he said he did not have any, they asked him to move to their car so they could conduct a standard pat search for weapons for officer safety. Turner refused, police said. The officers grabbed Turner's arms and took him to their car, where they told him to put his hands on the trunk. He refused, pulled away, and swung elbows at both officers, police said. Despite warnings they were going to shock him with a Taser, the officers reported that Turner continued wrestling and struggling with them. Turner was shocked five separate times, each a five-second jolt, after he repeatedly refused to comply with police and kicked them, police said. [more] and [more]
