Randolph County Coroner Gerald Luntsford ruled late today the death of a Moberly man after being TASERed by Moberly Police was a homicide.
Police stopped 23-year-old Stanley James William Harlan while driving on August 28.
Police claim Harlan was resisting arrest for suspicion of drunk driving, so they employed the taser.
Harlan's family claims witnesses say Harlan was not resisting.
The coroner says a ruling of homicide means one person died at the hands of another, but does not imply any conclusions about criminal activity in the incident.
