Love was found passed out in a car on a highway. When EMTs began to administer first aid he resisted, drove away, crashed into a truck, then fled on foot. Officers caught him and tasered him twice. He was given a dose of Versed by EMTs because he was resistant to their second attempt at treatment. "A few moments" after his legs were shackled to a gurney, he died. In Sept. 2014 police were awaiting a toxicology report from the medical examiner.
