Bellevue Police ID Man Who Died After Arrest

bellevue-policeBELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) — Bellevue police say a man has died after he stopped breathing during an arrest.

Authorities say Alex Zoucha, of Bellevue, died after a struggle with officers in which they shot him with a stun gun.

Officers were dispatched around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday and found Zoucha trying to break into a house.

Officials say Zoucha didn’t respond to their demands, prompting them to use a stun gun with little effect until he suddenly became unresponsive.

Officers performed CPR, and Zoucha was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The four officers, Allison Evans, Holly McQuaid, Ashley Meyers, and Anthony Orsi, were placed on paid administrative leave, per department policy.

State law says that whenever someone dies in custody or while being arrested, a grand jury must review the case.
