The sheriff’s office confirmed that Lujan deployed a Taser once Thompson had entered the interstate. According to the lawsuit, Lujan was standing on the shoulder of the highway when he deployed the Taser.

Body camera footage shows Thompson becoming incapacitated after being stunned and collapsing on the ground. Lujan notices the oncoming traffic and utters some profanity before moving to the side of the highway, according to the lawsuit.

“Deputy Lujan did not attempt to move Mr. Thompson to a place of safety so that he would not be run over,” said the attorneys in the lawsuit.

Brent was then hit by a passing car. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
