Police said Webb was armed with a pair of scissors when officers used a Taser while attempting to take him into custody. He made a threatening gesture toward officers, and one of the officers shocked him with his Taser. Officers disarmed the man and placed handcuffs on him. The man continued to be combative toward the officers, who then placed him in maximal restraints, securing his legs. Officers then noticed the man was having difficulty breathing. Handcuffs were removed and an ambulance was called. The man was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
