A Texas man who died in police custody in March after he was tased 4 times told deputies that he had heart issues and could not breathe.
on Monday, Travis County District Attorney Margaret Moore said what should have been a routine traffic stop ended in Ambler's death. She also accused the sheriff's office of stonewalling the investigation."Over the last year, the District Attorney’s Office has been fighting with Williamson County Sheriff’s Office to have Live PD video footage related to Javier Ambler’s death released," Moore tweeted.
Austin Mayor Steve Adler said Monday that"somebody that is guilty of not dimming their headlights just shouldn’t end up getting a death sentence." "The Williamson County Sheriff’s Department remains ready and willing to participate in the investigation being conducted by the Travis County D.A.’s office," a statement read."However, the Travis County D.A. has not contacted us for any reason related to this investigation. Any attempt to say we have slowed or otherwise impeded the investigation is absolutely false."
