Original Article Man who struggled with Phoenix police dies after Taser use Associated Press Aug. 8, 2005 08:05 AM A 47-year-old man died after a struggle with three Phoenix police officers, during which at least one of them used a Taser to subdue him, authorities said. The confrontation occurred Sunday night at a fast-food restaurant in north Phoenix. Officers were called to the Tacos Jalisco at Seventh Street and Mountainview after the suspect had vandalized two restrooms. Employees told police the man appeared to be crazed - that they had seen him hitting the window of a nearby business with a metal rod before entering the restaurant. Police say the suspect was extremely combative as three officers attempted to take him into custody, and that at least one officer used a Taser. When they got outside, the officers said they noticed that the suspect's breathing had slowed. Paramedics were called and the man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died a short time later.
