AKRON, Ohio — A sheriff in Ohio says he’s satisfied that no laws or jail rules were broken in the death of an inmate who was restrained by five deputies.

Summit County Sheriff Drew Alexander released internal reports Friday in the 2006 death of 28-year-old Mark McCullaugh. He died after restraints, pepper spray and a stun gun were used on him during a struggle at the county jail in Akron.

A medical examiner determined the cause of death was asphyxiation from blunt-force blows and various physical, electrical and chemical restraints.

One deputy was acquitted of murder and charges were dropped against four others.

The sheriff says the acquittal and dismissal of criminal charges and civil claims convinced him that there was no violation of law or jail rules.
