At approximately 11 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 10, officers from the Baltimore County Police Department's Franklin Precinct were called to investigate a suspicious person in the area of Rosewood Lane and Reistertown Road in Owings Mills, according to authorities.

As officers arrived, they say that a man appeared to be under the influence was causing a disturbance as family members were attempting to de-escalate the situation.

With an assist from the family, officers were able to get the man into custody, though due to his condition, officers were forced render first aid and called paramedics to the scene.

The man - whose name was not released - was taken to an area hospital, where he later was pronounced dead, according to the department.

No details about the death have been released by officials.

The incident is now being investigated by the AG's Independent Investigations Division, which is also probing an officer-involved shooting that left one person dead earlier this week.
