Tulsa police officers arrested Justin Benner, who later died in custody after being placed in a full-body restraint — a move that violated department policy — and left alone in his cell. Though not officially ruled a homicide, the state medical examiner labeled his death “unknown,” citing sudden cardiac death with contributing factors including restraint, trauma, and drug use. Bodycam footage shows officers using a Taser and ballistic shield on Benner, who appeared unsteady and was reportedly yelling phrases like “shoot him” and “help,” though he had no prior violent history. His family filed a lawsuit alleging excessive force and policy violations, arguing the restraint and abandonment directly caused his death. In response, Tulsa PD is reviewing restraint policies and mental health crisis protocols, launching new de-escalation training to prevent future tragedies while the family seeks justice and systemic reform.
