Media summary: Charles Eimers drove his car onto Key West's Southernmost Beach after a short pursuit by several police cars. He was ordered to leave his vehicle and lie down in the sand. While cuffing Eimers' left hand, officer Garrido got his finger stuck in the handcuff and began screaming in pain for other officers to come to his rescue. Eimers, finding himself in the same painful predicament, began kicking his feet. Within less than 5 minutes, Eimers stopped breathing and turned "blue in the face." He was later pronounced dead.
