When deputies arrived on scene, the man was barricaded in an upstairs room and refused to speak with members of TCSO’s Crisis Intervention Team. At 6:55 am, he jumped out of a second story window and ran. Deputies ran after him, and within the distance of a few houses, caught up to him.
As deputies attempted to calm him down and contain him, he became unresponsive. CPR was started by ATCEMS and AFD, who also responded to the call and were on scene. Their efforts were ultimately unsuccessful, and the man was pronounced deceased at 8:01 am.
