Andrew Grande, 23, Dies After Choking on a Bag of Weed During an Arrest

Andrew Grande dies after choking on a bag of weed during arrest. Police used stun gun to subdue him.

Bay County, Fla., deputies said Andrew Grande, 23, who was shocked with a stun gun, died after choking on a large bag of marijuana during an attempted arrest.

According to The News Herald, Grande ran from deputies who responded to the scene of a reported physical disturbance early Friday morning. He was later confronted by the investigators, who saw him try to put something in his mouth while he struggled with them. Grande broke free from the deputies, who had managed to put one handcuff over his wrist. Authorities then used the stun gun.

After Grande was shocked, deputies noticed that he appeared to be choking. They couldn't clear his throat with the Heimlich maneuver. Grande was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

It will be interesting to see how this investigation plays out. It has been reported that Grande shouted that he was choking during the scuffle with the police. Still, how dumb can one be? If you try to get rid of evidence, conventional wisdom would tell you not to swallow a bag of weed because you might just choke.
