Roy Whittaker was debating the circumstances of his arrest with a Dallas police officer less than 30 minutes before pleading for medical attention.
Gonzalez, who saw the incident as he was pulling out of a gas station parking lot, then follows Whittaker for roughly a minute before Whittaker stops.Whittaker says no. “You have no clue?”
“Well, I almost ran into him, but I didn’t hit that car or nothing,” Whittaker responds, later adding he had just left bingo.Whittaker gives Gonzalez his license, but after a few minutes of being unable to find proof of car insurance, Gonzalez asks him to step out of the car and sit on the sidewalk.Exasperated, Gonzalez replies “You hit that car!”“I was behind you, do you want me to show you the damage on your car?” Gonzalez asks.
The men walk to the front of Whittaker’s car and Gonzalez points out what appears to be damage near the driver’s-side tire. Due to the angle of Gonzalez’s camera, the extent of the damage is unclear, but there appear to be light markings that don’t match Whittaker’s dark car.Whittaker is then handcuffed and taken into custody for misdemeanor warrants out of Dallas, police said.
“Please help me,” Whittaker says while sitting on the sidewalk, and an officer calls for Dallas Fire-Rescue.Whittaker then lays down. The on-scene supervisor instructs the officers to remove Whittaker’s handcuffs while keeping him on his right side in “recovery position.”An officer asks Whittaker to tell them his “medical problems” again. To Whittaker’s muted response, an officer replies “Well, that is unfortunate.
The police department’s special investigations unit is investigating the death. Police said Monday autopsy and toxicology results are pending. The Dallas County district attorney’s office and the city’s Office of Community Police Oversight have also been notified, police said.
