DEERFIELD BEACH — Authorities in South Florida say a man who was found naked on the street and violently resisted arrest died after officers stunned him with a Taser.
Broward Sheriff's deputies say 41-year-old James Garland was spotted naked wandering through traffic waving his shirt after 4 a.m. Friday. After officers used the stun gun on him he was transported to a hospital and later pronounced dead.
Police say Garland was a registered sex offender who had been arrested 10 arrests in Broward County since 2002, mostly for cocaine-related charges.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
