CT STATE POLICE INVESTIGATE DEATH AFTER TROOPER DEPLOYS STUN GUN
Chambers, 42, of Norwich, was wearing a shirt and sweatshirt made with hidden pockets when he was arrested. Devlin said Chambers likely had the drugs on him when arrested, but police and probation officers didn’t find them.
The Norwich, Connecticut, police officers who oversaw a man's death in custody will not be charged, as it was ruled a fentanyl overdose.
Devlin recommended police take custody of arrested people's clothes and provide them with other garments while detained.
