slap on the wrist for what? their sole stated reason for arrest was that he resisted arrest- was there even an original reason for the stop?

Sledge Hammer, Porn Star, Dies After Being Tasered By Police

Sometimes strength can be a weakness. That may have been the case for porn star Marland Anderson, known by many as Sledge Hammer, who was tased to the point of cardiac arrest by police. According to Anderson's friend, the police may have been intimidated by his size and resorted to using a taser instead of other means to subdue him.

Anderson died Friday, five days after police took him to a hospital for attempting suicide, the Los Angeles Times reports. The incident began on April 8 when the police responded to a report of an attempted suicide in the Reseda area. When they arrived, Anderson's girlfriend told the officers that Anderson had tried to hurt himself with a knife, and she had struggled with him for it.

He was then restrained to a gurney and, on the way to the hospital, broke the gurney free from a floor lock and broke a handcuff. At this point, police used a taser to restrain Anderson.

AVN quotes adult film director Stoney Curtis, who described the struggle:

When the cops arrived, Anderson's height (6-foot-4) and bulk intimidated them, and rather than try to subdue him with the manpower available, they began shooting him with their Tasers—"excessively," according to Curtis—to the point where he suffered a heart attack and for all intents and purposes died for 10 minutes until the EMTs were able to restart his heart.
Curtis said that Anderson had massive swelling in his brain and that doctors told Anderson's mother that it was unlikely he'd come out of the coma, XBiz reports. Doctors advised Anderson's mother that even if he did come out of the coma, he would not regain consciousness. So on Thursday night, Anderson's mother took her son off of life support.

Anderson had been dealing with depression, anxiety and a mild form of schizophrenia, all of which may have been made worse by his marijuana use, according to what Curtis told Luke Is Back. Anderson's girlfriend, Alexa Cruz, wrote in an email to Luke Is Back, "This was not a domestic violence situation at all so I want to make that totally clear. This man was being tortured by his own mind and suffering from severe insomnia."

Fellow porn star Jack Lawrence tweeted about his friend's death: “I still can’t believe that Sledge Anderson is gone. Nine years I have known him. Just THE nicest guy EVER, & so respectful 2 the women in the biz.”

Autopsy of Porn Star 'Sledge Hammer' Reveals 'Neck Trauma,'
Raising Questions About LAPD’s Actions

Actor Marland Anderson died after an altercation with police in April. Now, an autopsy reveals he suffered “neck trauma.” What really happened? Christine Pelisek and Maria Elena Fernandez report.

A Los Angeles porn actor who mysteriously died in April after he was Tasered by police suffered “neck trauma,” according to new findings released by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office. In making its determination, the coroner’s office also said it could not rule how 39-year-old Marland Anderson—who went by the porn name Sledge Hammer—was injured, leaving the manner of death as “undetermined.”


The Coroner’s findings list “neck compression” as well as “acute anoxic encephalopathy and aspiration pneumonia” as the final cause of death. LAPD Commander Andrew Smith said the department’s Force Investigation Division is reviewing the incident. "We are conducting an investigation into this incident,” he said. “That investigation is not yet complete. We cannot discuss an investigation that has yet to be completed.”
Because the full autopsy report is not yet available, and the L.A. Coroner’s Office declined to explain its findings further, The Daily Beast contacted two experts in forensics pathology to review the cause and manner of death.
“His neck was injured almost certainly in the altercation with the multiple police officers—very likely leaning, pressing down on him, possibly his neck was hyper-extended,” says renowned pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht. “They compressed his neck either by direct pressure on his neck, or the neck may have been hyper-extended and so on. But since they use the word ‘compression,’ I would think they compressed by pressing down on his neck—whether they kneeled on him or sat on him, I can’t tell you that. But that’s what happened.”

Dr. Stephen Godfrey, the medical director of Path Counsel & Peace of Mind, a St. Louis-based private autopsy service, added that “the anoxic encephalopathy tells me there was a period of time where his brain sustained irreversible damage from not getting enough blood supply.” Aspiration pneumonia occurs when foreign matter, usually food particles or vomit, enters into the bronchi.
