The police chief in Tucson, Arizona, offered to resign Wednesday following the public release of body camera video from a two-month-old incident in which a man died while in police custody.
Tucson police officers were called to a home in the early morning of April 21 where 27-year-old Carlos Ingram-Lopez"was drunk, yelling and running around the house naked," Police Chief Chris Magnus said at a press conference Wednesday.The video, which the department showed publicly for the first time today, showed officers wrestling with Ingram-Lopez in a dark garage of his grandmother's house while screaming loudly.
""We see a person who is clearly distressed, asking for water, asking for help asking for his nana," Romero said, referring to the Spanish word for grandmother.Magnus said that video was"very difficult" to watch and he extended"our deepest sympathies to Mr. Ingram-Lopez's family."The case has been referred to the Pima County Attorney's Office but no decisions about criminal charges have been made but the case is still under review, Magnus said.
