A Mississippi man mysteriously died in police custody over the weekend after officers tied his hands and feet behind his back, according to witnesses – a type of restraint otherwise known as a “hogtie.”
Troy Goode, 30, and his wife left a concert Saturday night taking place one state over in Memphis, Tennessee.
Goode was admittedly intoxicated as he let his wife drive, but was acting “erratically,” at one point “running in a field in circles” and even “unexpectedly” exiting the vehicle, prompting another motorist to phone police.
“There was not any violent conduct,” the Goode’s attorney, Tim Edwards, told The Clarion-Ledger, “just erratic,” adding that “There was no one around him.”
Within moments of Southaven police arriving, Edwards says, they detained Goode, restraining him in a hogtie and onto a stretcher.
“His face was buried in the mattress of the stretcher,” Edwards told NBC News. “There was a strap over the back of his head so he couldn’t move his head. His hands and feet were hogtied so he couldn’t move those, either.”
The lawyer says a witness also heard Goode scream that he couldn’t breathe, reports WREG.
Nearby, lawyer David McLaughlin and his family dined at a restaurant from which he could see the incident unfolding in the parking lot.
Once they left the restaurant, McLaughlin’s son proceeded to film the event, producing one of the only videos publicly available at this point.
