Open Records Summary :

Police pulled a man over for a traffic stop for undisclosed reasons. According to police, a “scuffle” broke out and the officer tasered the man an unknown number of times. The unarmed man died shortly thereafter. His family disputes the police narrative. "My son would never be aggressive and fight with the law, especially," said Hanna's mother, Leta Jamerson. "It was not in his nature, he wasn’t that type of person." The officer was arrested for this homicide on July 29, 2023. IncarcerNation will update this page as events unfold.
