The AG's Independent Investigation Division (IID) is probing a police-involved in-custody death that was reported on Saturday in Hagerstown amid an ongoing investigation, officials say.
According to investigators, at approximately 10:15 p.m. on Oct. 26, members of the Hagerstown Police Department executed a search warrant at a home in the 100 block of East Washington Street, where they found a man outside who was handcuffed and placed into a cruiser.
While in the backseat of the police vehicle, the man began vomiting, had difficulty breathing, and became unresponsive, they said. He was rushed to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
The officers were wearing body cameras, and there is also dashboard cams that are being reviewed by investigators, officials noted.
According to the AG, the IID is expected to release the name of the victim and officers involved within two business days, though that is contingent on certain factors.
The body-cam footage is expected to be released within a month.
