Louisiana man dies

Michael Jones, 43, Iberia, Louisiana

Family members of Michael Jones, 43, of Abbeville, say officers used Taser guns and excessive force in arresting Jones early Friday morning. Abbeville Police Chief Rick Coleman on Saturday refused to say whether his officers Tasered Jones and would not comment on the family’s allegations.
