GAMBRILLS, Md. — The Maryland Attorney General's Office has launched an investigation following a deadly police tasing in Anne Arundel County.
It happened October 29, 2023 around 4:40pm in the 900 block of Waugh Chapel Way in Gambrills.
That's where officers were called for a report of two men in a vehicle with guns and drugs.
Corporal A. Stallings was first to arrived on scene.
After spotting the vehicle in question, he ordered both men out of the car. The driver was taken into custody, but as police tried handcuffing the passenger he ran away.
Stallings gave chase and tased the fleeing suspect in the back, causing him to fall face first and hit his head on the pavement.
Body worn camera footage of the incident was released on January 8, 2024.
It shows the suspect bleeding from the mouth and forehead area. Noticing that he's wheezing and having trouble breathing, Stallings quickly sits the man up and calls for paramedics.
While waiting for their arrival, Stallings is seen placing a bandage over the suspect's head to help stop the bleeding.
The man later died, according to the Attorney General's Office. His name was not released.
Stallings has been on the force for ten years. It's unclear if any drugs or weapons were ever found.
