CLAY -- A 37-year-old Syracuse-area man has died of cardiac arrest after a police officer used a Taser on him during a domestic disturbance.
Clay Police Commissioner Owen Honors says Christopher Jackson was pronounced dead Monday night at St. Joseph's Hospital after being hit by one cycle from a police Taser.
Police and Onondaga County Sheriff's deputies were called to Jackson's apartment around 9:10 p.m. for a domestic complaint.
Jackson was found on the first floor of the apartment building before fleeing from deputies. Jackson returned to his second-floor apartment and was confronted a Clay police officer. Police say he tried to grab the officer and was hit with the Taser after several warnings.
