A man who went on a hours-long standoff with police after allegedly assaulting his mother and brother in Chatsworth <\/a>ended up dying in custody this week, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed Friday.<\/p>\n

Jose Carlos Hoyos-Munoz<\/a>, 59, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon against family members on Monday after barricading himself for eight hours at the home on Delco Avenue between Plummer and Lassen streets, the LAPD said.<\/p>\n

Police explained after the arrest, Hoyos-Munoz had to be taken to a hospital to be “treated for exposure to gas utilized by SWAT personnel.” Once released from the hospital, he was taken to the the Van Nuys Regional Jail.<\/p>\n

Then on Wednesday, jail staff took Hoyos-Munoz out of his holding cell. During that process, the LAPD said a “non-categorial use of force” was used. (According to the department’s manual<\/a>, non-categorial use of force refers to lower-level of physical force or control devices.)<\/p>\n

Once Hoyos-Munoz was placed in a “five-point restraint chair,” which secured him physically to prevent moment, officers were able to take his fingerprints, police said. <\/p>\n

Afterward, Hoyos-Munoz was moved to a single-person cell where he remained handcuffed for a short time. <\/p>\n

The LAPD said when jail staff returned to the cell, another non-categorical use-of-force occurred, which prompted police to place him face down on the jail bunk and remove his handcuffs. <\/p>\n

About 20 minutes later, when officers returned to check on Hoyos-Munoz, they found him unconscious and not breathing, the police department said. <\/p>\n

“Despite medical intervention, Hoyos-Munoz failed to respond to treatment and was pronounced deceased,” the LAPD said in a statement.”<\/p>\n

Police said three detention officers were injured during altercations with Hoyos-Munoz. They were treated at a hospital for contusions and minor lacerations.<\/p>\n

The LAPD’s Force Investigation Division, a specialized unit that investigates serious use-of-force cases, is now in charge of founding out what happened. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man who went on a hours-long standoff with police after allegedly assaulting his mother and brother in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":402738,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[27732,48,52,51,5015,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-402737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-chatsworth","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-lapd","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402737","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=402737"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/402737\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/402738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=402737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=402737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=402737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
