A Stanislaus County man died Thursday evening, following a physical struggle with deputies as they tried to restrain him, the county sheriff\u2019s office said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Deputies responded to a \u201cfamily disturbance\u201d at a home on the 13000 block of Rivercrest Drive at around 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, the sheriff\u2019s office said. When they arrived in the residential neighborhood, a family member alleged that 39-year-old Shane Harlan had caused about $800 in property damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs deputies attempted to take Harlan into custody for vandalism, he resisted deputies’ attempts to arrest him, resulting in a brief physical struggle,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office said in a statement. \u201cDeputies were able to place Harlan in handcuffs; however, he continued to resist.\u201d<\/p>\n
The deputies then restrained Harlan\u2019s hands and legs with a full-body restraint device and seated him on the floor, where he became unresponsive. He then \u201cexperienced a medical emergency,\u201d the office said.<\/p>\n
Deputies requested emergency medical personnel and began providing medical aid, including removing the full-body restraints on Harlan, the office said, but he died at the scene. Harlan\u2019s cause and manner of death were unclear pending an autopsy by the Stanislaus County Coroner\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
The sheriff\u2019s office and the Stanislaus County District Attorney\u2019s office opened an investigation into the circumstances of Harlan\u2019s death.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The incident comes on the heels of the county’s agreement to pay $5 million to the mother of 40-year-old Anthony Silva, who died a year after a 2022 encounter with Stanislaus County sheriff\u2019s deputies. \u201cWhile handcuffed, Silva was \u2018forcibly slammed\u2019 onto concrete as he was searched, according to the complaint filed on his mother\u2019s behalf,\u201d\u00a0the Modesto Bee reported last week.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n The Stanislaus County District Attorney\u2019s Office declined to bring charges against the officers involved in the 2022 incident, which was recorded on their body cameras, according to the Bee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Stanislaus County man died Thursday evening, following a physical struggle with deputies as they tried to restrain…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":350263,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8,723,724],"class_list":["post-350262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-crime","tag-criminal-justice"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350262\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
