SOUTH BOSTON, Va. – Prosecutors have decided not to charge any of the police officer involved in the death of a Richmond man, who died in police custody after being repeatedly tased in front of a South Boston Emergency room in May of 2013.

Linwood Lambert, 46, was handcuffed and being taken inside the hospital for medical help at the time of the incident.

The three officers tased Lambert 20 times during the incident, including while he had his hands and feet restrained, which is a violation of police rules.

"We waited three years to get back to the same place, where these officers are not going to be held accountable for their actions," Gwendolyn Smalls, Lambert's sister told NBC News, after receiving Monday’s news.

The prosecutors are expected to release a report of their findings on Tuesday, according to NBC News.

Since the incident, Lambert’s family has filed a $25 million wrongful death lawsuit. In November 2015, Lambert’s family talked to CBS 6 and released police video of the May incident.

Lambert's family filed the suit claiming the officers showed callous disregard in Tasering him multiple times and deprived him of medical care.

In their response to the lawsuit, South Boston police said the Tasers were only deployed because Lambert became violent and caused damage to property. His actions, they said, placed the safety of others at risk and that officers did not use excessive force.

"They're saying it's justified because they have no other answer," said Smalls. "They used so much force with a man who was already restrained. What other answer would they come up with; other than to say it's justifiable?"

Police video shows May 2013 incident

Several videos recorded both inside and outside the police cruiser show what happened as South Boston police transported the 46-year-old man to the hospital. The officers first encountered Lambert after responding to several 911 calls from people complaining about his behavior at a motel.

When police arrived they handcuff him and put him in a squad car. An officer can be heard telling Lambert they were not going to lock him up, but rather take him to the emergency room. You then hear another officer calling the hospital, asking to speak to the mental health case worker on duty.

Things take a dramatic turn when the officers and Lambert arrive at the emergency room. There, Lambert kicks the window of the police car. An officer then tells Lambert to stop and calm down. When the officers try to get Lambert out of the car, the man attempts to run away. That is when police hit him with the Taser. At some point Lambert suffered cardiac arrest, and was pronounced dead.

Lambert's autopsy lists his cause of death as "acute cocaine intoxication," according to a report by WSET. Attorneys for Lambert's family dispute that claim, and said they have proof, which they plan to present in court. In the dash cam video, Lambert is heard telling the officers he "just did cocaine."
