San Jose, CA - A 38-year-old man died after violently struggling with police, getting shocked with a stun gun, and swallowing his own stash of drugs, according to police.
Prince Swayzer III was pronounced dead Tuesday night at a local hospital. The coroner's office has yet to determine a cause of death.
San Jose police say they stopped Swayzer early Tuesday evening at North Third and Hensley streets just south of Japantown. They suspected he was a drug dealer. Swayzer began to resist arrest and fight three officers, police said. They reported he swallowed an unknown drug. Swayzer was stunned with a Taser and subdued, according to police.
When firefighters and paramedics arrived at the scene, Swayzer was conscious and refused medical treatment, according to police. He was taken to a local hospital, where he again refused medical attention, police said. Swayzer later died at the hospital.
