No charges after stun gun used on Pueblo suspect who later died

Prosecutors say police in southern Colorado did nothing wrong when they used a stun gun to subdue a man who later died .

The Chieftain reports officers were called Dec. 10 after 26-year-old Emanuel Miera was seen walking back and forth across Interstate 25 in north Pueblo. Police say he ignored their orders to get out of the road and then resisted arrest, prompting them to use a stun gun.

Miera’s lips started to turn blue, and he died at a nearby hospital.

An autopsy concluded that he died of combined drug toxicity that was aggravated by physical exertion and heart problems. His death has been ruled an accident.
