PANAMA CITY BEACH — Bay County deputies say a 23-year-old man who was shocked with a stun gun died after choking on a large bag of marijuana during an attempted arrest.

According to The News Herald, Andrew Grande ran from deputies who responded to the scene of a reported physical disturbance early Friday morning. Grande was later confronted by the investigators, who saw him try to put something in his mouth while he struggled with them.

Grande broke free from the deputies, who had managed to put one handcuff over his wrist. Authorities then used the stun gun.

After Grande was shocked, deputies noticed that he appeared to be choking. They couldn’t clear his throat with the Heimlich maneuver. Grande was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

    pure_stupid_playaz44_2, the only one that is dumb is YOU for making a stupid (dumb)comment like that. This young man, simply make a bad choice that resulted in costing him his life. He might have had plans for his future in that he didn’t want to have this issue on his record or deal with the law for something so trivial. You’re not sorry for his family because if you were you wouldn’t make insensitive comments like that. Fool, you need home training, obviously, you never got it!

    It’s f**ked up dying over swallowing a sack of weed, even though people do it all the time…But not me, NEVER, I damn near choked eating a taco when I was a shorty so I aint swallowing no sacks of weed.LOL..HELL NAW…If it was me looks like I got 3 choices, toss that s**t and hope no one finds it, plant it on my girl or throw it with her belongings, if she knows then it’s just her word against mine and we might both go to jail so “ha ha you lose too” (yup I know its bogus) or just go under for the little weed charge and see if I can get it off my record later.

    I think we all learned @ a certain age NOT to ingest plastic . Common sense doesn’t exist to some people . Hell just take the charge , you do the crime you do the time . Get a lawyer and use the system against them like they use it against us . It’s all just a rat race to the grave and apparently this guy found a dead end . LEGALIZE IT !

    This was an example of another dumb person.. so you get caught wit a dime. more then likely he would of gotten 30 days. but instead he chose to ATTEMPT to swollow. mean while trying to escape from the hand cuffs as if they were never gonna catch you. Hell the true question is how long does it take you to chew and swallow something..hell they were fighting him to put the hand cuffs on. well it looked like a white dude. so i guess thats one dumb act we cant blame on da blk man. lol.dumb ass

    Unfortunately, it always falls on whatever side of the coin that you are on. If you side with the tas”erz” or the tas”eez”. We had a situation at our business where my own cousin was upset because a guy hired him for a days work and after working hard all day, he was only paid a forty ounce beer and a few dollars. Well, a fight ensued and someone called the police and a “black” police officer showed up and asked my cousin to put the lead pipe down and assume the position while he was holding his gun and everytime my cousin would lean down to put the pipe away the officer would be putting his gun away and my cousin picked the pipe up(they kept going back and forth) finally my cousin made a sudden move and the officer shot him in his midsection(liver/kidney) area and my cousin was held for months in the infirmary/jail for psychiatric evaluation. Well my cousin had earlier threatened me because he did not want to wait to get paid for doing a little cleaning of the floors and bathrooms emptying the trash,etc for our store. With him being a known mental patient/drug addict), the officer did the right thing because he was very angry at the contractor(who left the scene) and wanted to really hurt him(the contractor). So who knows what he would have done to the officer because he WOULD not put down that lead pipe. Thank God that the officer did not shoot to kill. Unfortunately, police officers have to use tasers, nitesticks, etc to even an uneven playing field while they are trying to do their jobs.
