McKinley County, New Mexico – On May 18, 2022, Robert Carroll was driving across New Mexico on his way from Kansas to Phoenix when he pulled off Interstate 40, just west of Gallup, and began acting erratically. A deputy with the McKinley County Sheriff’s Office was called to the scene. Bodycam video shows a deputy, Dwayne Holder, using a Taser on Carroll 18 times. Carroll lost consciousness and died at the scene. An autopsy determined his manner of death was homicide caused by heart disease in the setting of a physical restraint. Carroll’s family is suing the McKinley County Sheriff’s Office and board of commissioners, alleging that he was not a threat to the deputy and his “violent and abhorrent killing” was “wholly unjustified and constituted excessive force, assault, battery, and homicide.” The lawsuit also alleges Deputy Dwayne Holder, who chased and tased Carroll, was under the influence of alcohol. In his interview with New Mexico State Police, Holder said he had a shot and a half of bourbon about four hours before his shift began. “The death of Robert Carroll never should have occurred and would not have occurred but for a complete lack of officer supervision, lack of appropriate police training, and the lack of appropriate planning during the events leading up to the Tasing of Robert Carroll,” the lawsuit states. McKinley County is a county in the northwestern section of New Mexico bordering Arizona.
