Graphic recording from bodycam and dashboard cameras were released on Monday by attorneys representing the family of Jared Lakey, who died following his July 2019 arrest by Officers Joshua Taylor, and Brandon Dingman, in Wilson Oklahoma
Videos recorded by bodycams worn by the two cops who arrested, as well as the video from the dashboard camera video have been released showing two Oklahoma police officers firing their tasers at a naked man 53 times during a July 2019 arrest.
The subject, 28-year-old Jared Lakey, died at a hospital two days later.
A year later, on July 1, 2020, the two Wilson Police Department officers who had arrested Lakey were charged with second-degree murder in connection with his death.
The Tulsa-based law firm Bryan & Terrill Law, which has been representing Lakey’s family, on Monday released graphic recordings from the officers’ body cameras and dashboard cameras, showing their confrontation with a nude Lakey in Wilson, Oklahoma, on July 4, 2019.

Video shows Lakey failing to comply with the officers’ commands to put his hands behind his back, but family’s lawyers say he was not resisting. Another deputy arrives, puts Lakey in a chokehold for 40 seconds, until he loses consciousness. Lakey is heard struggling for breath
The officers’ use of stun guns ‘greatly exceeded what would have been necessary or warranted by the attendant circumstances,’ and was a ‘substantial factor’ in Lakey’s death, according to court docs
Later, the cops are heard talking among themselves about the incident and speculating that based on his behavior, Lakey must be high of the drug PCP – a claim that proved to be unfounded.
Lakey stopped breathing a short time later, but according to the attorneys, the officers on the scene failed to render medical aid for more than three minutes.
He was eventually hospitalized and died on July 6. A medical examiner concluded that the 28-year-old died from a heart attack coupled with police use of an ‘electrical weapon.’
His toxicology report found that Lakey had no illegal drugs in his system.

Taylor and Dingman had come into contact with Lakey after responding to a call that he was acting in a disorderly way, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said. Subsequently, court documents said the ‘ use of stun guns ‘ by the two officers greatly exceeded what would have been necessary or warranted by the attendant circumstances,’ and was a ‘substantial factor’ in Lakey’s death.
Following Lakey’s death, Dingman and Taylor returned to work and had remained on the force until their arrests this month.
If convicted, each faces a punishment of 10 years to life in prison.
