Officer Faces Felony Charges In Vegas Choking Death

Description

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A police officer will face two felony charges for killing an unarmed man with a martial arts-style neck hold after a chase through a Las Vegas Strip casino, the Clark County sheriff announced Monday. The officer, Kenneth Lopera, was suspended without pay and was due to be arrested on charges of involuntary manslaughter and oppression under color of authority, Sheriff Joe Lombardo said minutes after the county coroner ruled that Tashii S. Brown, 40, was choked to death May 14. Brown also was zapped with a stun gun and punched by the officer after a chase through restricted areas of The Venetian resort, police have said.
