An autopsy rules that an Atlanta church deacon’s death during his arrest was a homicide

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:03:54 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — An autopsy has found that the Aug. 10 death of a 62-year-old church deacon who was electrically shocked by an Atlanta police officer was a homicide, although the medical examiner found that heart disease also contributed to his death.Johnny Hollman became unresponsive while being arrested after a minor car crash. The officer shocked Hollman with an electrical stun gun and handcuffed him after Hollman refused to sign a traffic ticket.The city has since changed its policy to let officers write “refusal to sign” on a traffic ticket instead of arresting someone who won’t sign.

It just acknowledges receipt of the ticket and court date.The Atlanta City Council last week called on the city to release the video from the incident. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which is examining the officer’s actions, has asked the Atlanta Police Department not to release the video ...
