OTR suspect shocked twice with Taser before he died

OTR suspect shocked twice with Taser before he died: Officers first heard screams and the wail of a car horn. Then they spotted a man wedged in a vehicle’s window as he struggled with a woman behind the wheel.

That was the scene Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell described to reporters Tuesday, some 12 hours after an officer tried to subdue James Carney III, 48, with a Taser. The attempt didn’t work, Blackwell said. Carney kept punching, choking and even biting the 41-year-old woman who had stopped at a Shell gas station to use the ATM at about 10 p.m. Monday.

Officer Anthony White then deployed the Taser a second time.
