Thomas County Deputies say at about two o'clock Friday morning an officer was driving on Highway 19, south of the 84 bypass when he noticed a Ford pickup truck in the middle of the road with a man inside.
When the man raised his arm, it could be seen that he was bleeding profusely.
Officers say Rudolph Byrd of Quincy, Florida then got out and a struggle began. Byrd was tasered as five officers tried to restrain him.
When EMS arrived, Byrd was put on a gurney and he stopped breathing.
Doctors were later able to revive him, but Byrd died moments later. The GBI is investigating.
