ALABAMA – According to the police officials, his name is Cody Brannon.
Authorities say the 27-year-old man died after being tased by law enforcement following a burglary call in western Houston County Saturday.
The incident happened at a home in the 200 block of Bethlehem Road between Vineyard Church and Bethlehem Baptist Church. Houston County Sheriff Donald Valenza told WDHN News the suspect entered a home armed with a machete. A 9-1-1 call then came into Houston County dispatch. Deputies responded to the residence around 11:00 a.m. and encountered the suspect.
Upon arrival, the suspect became combative, forcing deputies to use a taser. Sheriff Valenza confirmed the man later died.
It is unclear why the man entered the residence or if he knew anyone inside the home.
