A Long Island, New York man died shortly after he was Taser by police officers early Saturday morning.

The brother of Darryl Bain called 911 around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday to report Bain, who was high on cocaine, had locked himself and his elderly mother in her Coram home.

When the police arrived, they heard a struggle inside and officers broke down the door and tried to wrestle the forty-three year old man to the ground.

After the first Taser shot, Bain continued to fight with the officers while they were attempting to cuff him and they zapped him again.

Phyllis Hawkins, who has an order of protection against her son, said he was not posing any threat to her or himself and the officers did not need to use the Taser on him.

She said she was trying to get her son to get his hands off the door when officers heard the struggle inside and from pass experiences, the police know that when Bain “gets like that, he clams himself down.”

Since 2000, Suffolk County police were called to Bain’s house at least 70 times.

The seventy-eight year old woman said that her son was a cocaine addict and an alcoholic.
