AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Prosecutors say two former Texas sheriff deputies have been indicted on manslaughter charges in the March 2019 death of a 40-year-old Black man named Javier Ambler.
The announcement today comes two years after Ambler’s death was filmed by the police reality TV series “Live PD.”
The former postal worker was shocked repeatedly with a stun gun after being pulled over in suburban Austin for allegedly failing to dim his headlights to oncoming traffic.
Former Williamson County Sheriff’s Deputies James Johnson and Zachary Camden are both charged with second-degree manslaughter. Bail was set at $150,000.
