Police will not be charged in death of man shocked with Taser 18 times in shower

The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office said it will not press charges against two police officers who used their stun guns as many as 18 times in the death of a naked man in the shower last May.

District Attorney John Chisholm made the announcement on Friday, saying there was "no basis to conclusively link Mr. [Adam] Trammell's death to actions taken by police officers."

The 22-year-old Trammell, from West Milwaukee, Wisconsin, died in police custody after authorities were called to report a "suspicious male" in an apartment complex at 5 a.m., according to Milwaukee ABC affiliate WISN. The report by Chisholm notes the caller believed the man, later identified as Trammell, was having a "psychotic break."

Trammell, who was naked at the time, was allegedly speaking incoherently and flooding an apartment with a shower when police arrived, WISN reported. West Milwaukee and West Allis police said in a press release last year that a stun gun was used on the suspect because he "was uncooperative and combative with officers."

He stopped breathing and died at a local hospital, police said.

The Milwaukee County medical examiner ruled Trammell's cause of death as excited delirium and the manner "undetermined."

West Milwaukee Police Chief Dennis Nasci told WISN the two officers involved were placed on administrative duty for two months before returning to active duty.

Graphic bodycam footage of the officers using a stun gun on Trammell multiple times was released and reviewed by the district attorney. The bodycam footage shows a calm and confused Trammell confronted by police officers while he is in the shower.

An officer twice says, "Brandon, I'm going to need you to come on out," referring to Trammell by the incorrect name, before saying, "You're going to get tased." Trammell doesn't respond before being shocked and falling to the shower floor screaming. The district attorney's report states the officers repeatedly used their stun guns on Trammell as he struggled to prevent removal from the shower. The report indicates the officers used a Taser 15 times.

Trammell's family claims he suffered from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

"The family first saw the video at the DA's office. So yes they've seen the video and they weep every time they see it," the Trammell family's attorney Mark Thomsen told WISN. "We had a young man in a bath tub naked, OK? Why they engaged in tasing for 15 to 18 times is beyond my imagination.

"For no good reason -- and essentially tortured to death," Thomsen added. "That should not happen to the mentally ill in our community."

Thomsen said the family will be pursuing a civil case. West Milwaukee police said they would not comment due to that pending civil litigation.

Doesn't look 400 lbs to me...
Mental health problems need special attention, these guys didn't know how to handle the situation, clearly. I didn't see a point were he was a danger to the officers and I generally side with the police, but this didn't seem like a dangerous situation when they dropped him with the taser.

We are missing something here. The guy in the ER said that he just puked a ton of water. Obviously he did not have a bunch of water in his lungs or stomach at the time the video ended. What did these officers do that we did not see? Everyone knows electricity and water do not mix! That s*** you learn in Elementary School. Looks like a murder to me! Manslaughter at the very least.

Doesn't surprise me. Those sick fucks (police officers) always get away with murder. Police officers=Terrorists. I'm now going to watch the vid in which the french police officer begs for his life before his brains are blown out. That is the faith every police officer deserves.

Could throw in a load of laundry while he’s shaking in the tub.

I added a link to the pdf of the district attorney office's report if anyone is interested.


In it, it states

The medical examiner ruled Trammell's cause of death as excited delirium and the matter to be undetermined.

Well a bare foot person with wet feet in a painted metal tub gets tazered then falls to the tub floor after being his apartment is broken into by the cops. He might blow a gasket in his circulation system.
