Man Hides Drugs In Mouth, Cop Breaks His Neck


A 42-year-old Louisiana man has died, apparently of a broken neck, after being pulled over by a police deputy. A dash cam video shows Deputy Chris Sturdivant of the Livingston Parish Sheriffs Office with his arms around Adam Stogners neck after the officer suspected the man of putting a small quantity of drugs into his mouth. Stogner died along Interstate 12. Preliminary results from the coroner show that Stogner died from severe coronary artery disease, an enlarged heart, and a fracture of the hyoid bone in his neck. According to CBS affiliate WAFB, the sheriffs office says Stogner did not put his truck in park when he was pulled over. This may have led the officer to believe Stogner was planning to flee the scene. And the deputy believed Stogner was impaired.
