Mississippi: Man Dies After Being “Hogtied” by Police

HeadlineJul 22, 2015

Meanwhile, the family of a man who died after being “hogtied” by police in Southaven, Mississippi, say they were threatened with arrest after asking to visit him in the hospital before he died. Police say Troy Goode was arrested Saturday for “acting strange” after attending a concert with his wife and taking LSD. Attorneys say he told police he was having trouble breathing after they put him face down on a stretcher with his arms and legs bound. He died about two hours later in the hospital.
