Ex-Texas sheriff surrenders for allegedly destroying ‘Live PD’ footage of Black man who died after being tased
Fox News
A former Texas sheriff surrendered to authorities Thursday amid charges that he tampered with evidence in connection to a case in which reality show cameras filmed his deputies tasing a man who died.
Ambler, who weighed around 400 pounds, reportedly pleaded with deputies that he was sick and couldn't breathe during the encounter. Former Williamson County General Counsel Jason Nassour has also been indicted on the same charge, authorities said this week. In addition, the two deputies allegedly involved in Ambler's death also face charges in Travis County. The indictments stem from missing video footage, which remains unaccounted for -- from "Live PD," an A&E real-time cop reality show that followed police officers on patrol. "I know that these indictments will not bring peace to the Ambler family. No parent should have to bury their child," Travis County District Attorney José Garza said Tuesday. "But we remain committed to seeing this through on behalf of not just Javier Ambler, but also our community."More Related News
