PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. — Bay County deputies say a 23-year-old man who was shocked with a stun gun died after choking on a large bag of marijuana during an attempted arrest.

According to The News Herald, Andrew Grande ran from deputies who responded to the scene of a reported physical disturbance early Friday morning. Grande was later confronted by the investigators, who saw him try to put something in his mouth while he struggled with them.

Grande broke free from the deputies, who had managed to put one handcuff over his wrist. Authorities then used the stun gun.

After Grande was shocked, deputies noticed that he appeared to be choking. They couldn’t clear his throat with the Heimlich maneuver. Grande was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Florida cops are encouraged to make possession of marijuana busts against young people. Florida has the most harsh cannabis penalties of all 50 states including federal. The strictest, cruelest southern redneck cops are supposed to do things like this. Governor Crist and his predecessor Jeb Bush, and State Atty Gen’l Bill McCollom are responsible for this and all other cases like it.

The cops murdered that kid. He got the death penalty with no trail or jury, for possessing some marijuana in a redneck state.

Vote “NO” on Crist for Senate and McCollom for Governor in 2010.
