Charges are first directly tied to death of Javier Ambler, who died after officers used stun guns on him after a chase.
Two former Texas sheriff’s deputies were arrested on Tuesday on manslaughter charges in relation to the 2019 death of a man who was shocked with stun guns after a police chase, authorities said. The charges are the first directly tied to the death of Javier Ambler, a Black man whose car deputies chased for 22 minutes after trying to pull him over for allegedly failing to dim his headlights to oncoming traffic. Ambler, a former postal worker, died after deputies repeatedly used stun guns on him, despite his pleas that he was sick and could not breath.More Related News
