OWINGS MILLS, MD. (WJZ) — The names of the Baltimore County Police officers involved in the in-custody sudden death of a man following a Taser deployment Tuesday night have been identified.
The officers have been identified as:
- Officer First Class Miller, a 20 ½ year veteran, permanently assigned to Precinct 3-Franklin

Baltimore County Police responded to a home in the unit block of Gwynnswood Road for an injured person at around 11:18 p.m. Tuesday.
Police say officers got to the home and tried to help, but then the man's demeanor suddenly changed and he became "volatile and extremely combative" with the officers- and so the officers used a taser on him.
