Dallas police were investigating the circumstances surrounding the apprehension of a man who died after being taken into custody. Police said the incident started when they tried to restrain Pedro Fernandez, 33, who was allegedly involved in a domestic disturbance in the 3800 block of Mount Ranier Street in West Dallas just before midnight Monday. Four officers responded to the scene; a fifth was subsequently needed to subdue the 320-pound man, but not before police used OC spray, a type of pepper spray. [more]
