Clay, NY - A 37-year-old man died Monday night after a Clay police officer used a Taser on the man, police said.

Christopher H. Jackson, of 4804 Norstar Blvd. Apartment 213D, was pronounced dead at St. Joseph's Hospital Monday after he was hit by one cycle of a police Taser, Clay Police Commission Owen Honors said today.

Clay police and Onondaga County Sheriff's deputies were called to Jackson's apartment about 9:10 p.m. for a domestic complaint, police said in a press release.

"It was a physical domestic with his mother," Honors said.

Jackson was found on the first floor of the apartment building by deputies, but he fled from them. Jackson returned to his second floor apartment and confronted a Clay police officer. During the confrontation, Jackson was yelling and aggressive, Clay police said.

"He was trying to beat up the policeman," Honors said. "He tried to grab him a couple of times."

The Clay officer told Jackson "three or four times" that he was going to use his Taser on him, Honors said. Jackson was in his bedroom when he was Tasered.

Honors believes it took only one cycle of the Taser to get Jackson under control. That information is stored on a chip inside the X26 Taser model issued to police. Jackson was not carrying a weapon, but he was using his hands to assault the officer, Honors said.

Officers placed Jackson in handcuffs. Then they noticed Jackson, who was conscious and breathing at that time, was not responding to their questions, police said. At that point, police requested paramedics. The paramedics responded and began assessing Jackson, who went into cardiac arrest.

Paramedics began performing cardio-pulminary resuscitaion on Jackson and took him to St. Joseph's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Honors said.
