Morrison Man Dies after being Detained by White County Deputies

The TBI was called in Thursday to investigate the death of a Morrison, TN man who was being detained by White County officers.
TBI agents confirmed the death of 34-year-old Mauris Crespos on Thursday, saying District Attorney General Bryant Dunaway requested their assistance in the investigation.
Preliminary information indicates that the man was a passenger in a vehicle that crashed in DeKalb County. The man was found just over the county line in White County. When White County deputies tried to detain him, he reportedly began to assault the officers and a taser was deployed. He was handcuffed and taken to the jail. When Crespos arrived at the jail, he was unresponsive and was taken to the White County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
