“Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd has reversed his office’s ruling from ‘undetermined’ to ‘homicide’ in the case of a man who died after North Chicago police restrained him, hit him with batons and shocked him with a Taser. Rudd said the blows 45-year-old Darrin ‘Dagwood’ Hanna absorbed from police batons initiated the string of medical events that caused his death in November 2011. The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office in March 2012 declined to charge any of the officers involved, saying they used ‘reasonable force’ after responding to a domestic incident. One officer was later fired in connection with the incident and another was suspended for 30 days.”
