A man died after being tased by Hamilton County deputies on Sunday night.

Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched on Sunday, at approximately 9:50 p.m., to the 6200 Block of Massengale Hollow in Harrison on a report of a person causing a disorder.

 

Based on initial reports, after arriving on scene, deputies made contact with Jeremy Allen Conn, 35, who was the person allegedly causing the disorder.  Once contact was made, Conn ran from deputies and, once caught, fought with deputies. Deputies utilized a taser to gain control of Conn. After being restrained, deputies called for Hamilton County EMS as per agency policy. HCSO policy states any time a suspect is tased, EMS are to be called to give a medical review of the suspect.

While awaiting EMS arrival, Conn became unresponsive.  Deputies administered CPR until EMS arrived.  Conn was transported by EMS to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.  

The Hamilton County Medical Examiner’s Office has been notified.

In accordance with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Policy and Procedure, the deputies involved in the apprehension of Conn have been placed on administrative leave with pay.

An investigation into the death of Jeremy Allen Conn is being conducted by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division.
