Inmate Tolon Dies After Subdueing by Deputies
Johnson County officials ruled out criminal conduct after inmate Kenneth Tolon died from asphyxiation during a struggle with jail deputies. Seven deputies moved Tolon, who resisted and was hogtied, with several applying pressure to a nerve point. Pathologist Jill Gould cited face-down restraint and chest pressure as contributing factors to the death. Morrison stated the restraint was not unlawful and not caused by deputy beating. Tolon, 36, faced multiple prior robbery charges in Kansas City and Merriam.
