Several media outlets are reporting on the death of a Superior Township man after he was Tasered and arrested by Washtenaw County sheriff’s deputies on Friday. The Detroit News quotes Derrick Jackson, a sheriff’s department spokesman, who said the department is conducting an internal investigation of the incident, which happened when deputies were assisting a Livingston and Washtenaw Narcotics Enforcement Team (LAWNET) operation. Says Jackson: “People are asking, ‘What happened? How did it happen?’ We’re doing all these things to make sure people get answers.” [Source]
