A man from southern Alberta is dead following an altercation with the Calgary Police Service (CPS).
The CPS says it was called to the Carriage House Hotel on Macleod Trail just after midnight on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, on reports of a disturbance.
The attending officers allege that a man in the front lobby was “acting erratically” and refusing to leave.
“Officers attempted to de-escalate the situation; however, the man was not cooperative. A struggle ensued, resulting in one officer deploying a Taser,” reads a statement from CPS. “The man continued to be combative with officers, resulting in one officer deploying OC spray.”
