OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police say a man who displayed bizarre, erratic behavior before being taken into custody has died at a hospital.
Police say Patrick Ennis died Sunday afternoon. An autopsy has been scheduled.
Officers were sent to a south Omaha address Friday afternoon after witnesses reported an intoxicated man with self-inflicted injuries overturning patio furniture and possibly suffering from a medical condition. Officers say they found the 50-year-old Ennis standing over a stair railing, clenching his fists. Police say he first obeyed commands to put his hands behind his back to be handcuffed, but then he resisted, struggling with officers.
Officers say Ennis began having trouble breathing, so they removed the handcuffs and CPR was performed until paramedics arrived.
Police say an internal investigation is being conducted.
