HOUSTON (CN) A Texas county has agreed to pay a $4.75 million settlement to the parents of a man who died in 2010 after a deputy constable placed his boot over his mouth while he was lying unresponsive on the ground.
Jamail Joseph Amron, a 23-year-old Black and Iranian man, had trouble breathing after he took a small amount of cocaine on Sept. 30, 2010, at an apartment complex in Spring, a northern Houston suburb.
He called 911 and walked to a Burger King. Its manager gave him a cup of water.
Several Harris County deputy constables and paramedics arrived. And though Amron was sitting on a curb calmly drinking his water, one of the deputies handcuffed him and dragged him to an ambulance.
