Oliver Jarrod Gregoire was a 26-year-old African American man from Baytown, Texas, who died on September 28, 2014 after an encounter with a Chambers County Sheriff’s deputy. According to reports, Gregoire had behaved erratically, kicked in the door of a residence and assaulted a woman inside before Deputy Bradley Hasley arrived. The deputy deployed a Taser; Gregoire reportedly ripped off the probes, charged at the deputy and was Tasered a second time. He became unresponsive and, despite immediate CPR by the deputy and emergency medical crews, was pronounced dead at San Jacinto Methodist Hospital.

The Texas Rangers investigated to determine whether the use of force was justified and whether protocol had been violated. The investigation concluded the deputy’s actions were within the scope of his duties; no arrests or other suspects were identified. The death left family and community members seeking answers and contributed to discussions about police use of force and training.
