Prosecutors in Ohio have announced reckless homicide charges against two police officers in the death of a man who was handcuffed and left face down on the floor of a social club in Canton while telling officers he couldn't breathe.
Stark County prosecutor Kyle Stone told reporters Saturday that the charges against Canton officers Beau Schoenegge and Camden Burch were brought by a grand jury in the April 18 death of Frank Tyson, a 53-year-old East Canton resident taken into custody shortly after a vehicle crash that had severed a utility pole.
Police body-camera footage showed Tyson, who was Black, resisting and saying repeatedly, "They're trying to kill me" and "Call the sheriff" as he was taken to the floor, and he told officers he could not breathe.
