Man, 77, Dies After VA Deputies Tackle, Slam Him Into Truck: Report

WARREN COUNTY, VA — Newly-released body camera footage shows the moment Virginia deputies tackled 77-year-old Ralph Ennis, slammed his head against a truck, and wrestled him to the ground, according to a report.

Thirteen days later, on April 15, Ennis died after doctors diagnosed him with a brain bleed, NBC Washington reported.

Ennis was pulled over by Warren County sheriff's deputies for speeding and driving erratically and speeding, NBC reported. While authorities said he had non-life-threatening injuries following the fall, the body camera from a Front Royal police officer shows deputies shove Ennis face-first into his truck and tackle him to the ground while seemingly tripping over the truck's trailer hitch.

In the footage, the Front Royal police officer says to himself, "That was unjust and unf------ called for."

Linda Ennis, Ralph Ennis' wife, told NBC Washington he was suffering from dementia.
