He was “acting crazy”, stripped off his clothing, and was “directing traffic” on Highway 59 near Hurricane, Utah totally nude.

His wife called 911, advised them of his bi-polar disorder and that his medication would not take affect for another 40 minutes.

Police arrived on-scene several minutes later and deployed a taser (twice) when he was uncooperative and failed to follow orders. He died shortly thereafter.

According to Amnesty International….more than 350 Americans in the past 8 years have died after being tased.

Now the audio recordings of both the 911 call and the officer’s digital recorder have been made available, you can listen to them below.
