The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has identified the man who died in White County while in police custody.

Police identified the man as 34-year-old Mauris Crespos.

TBI says a car crashed and rolled over in Dekalb County Thursday. A passenger from the vehicle was found just over the White County line.

Agents said when White County deputies tried to detain the man, identified as Crespos, he started assaulting officers and a taser was deployed. He was then handcuffed and taken to jail.

According to TBI spokesperson Susan Niland, when the deputy arrived at the jail, Crespos was unresponsive. He was transported to White County hospital where he was pronounced dead.
