Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus
TUCSON, AZ (KFGO) – Former Fargo Police Chief Chris Magnus, now the police chief in Tucson, Arizona, has offered his resignation after the death of a 27-year-old man who died while handcuffed and placed face-down two months ago.
Magnus offered his resignation on Wednesday, a day after the death of Carlos Ingram-Lopez on April 21 was made public. The medical examiner’s office didn’t determine a manner of death but said he had died of sudden cardiac arrest while intoxicated by cocaine and physically restrained. Ingram-Lopez had an enlarged heart.
He was face-down on the ground with a blanket over his head when he stopped breathing. The city council and city manager would have to approve of the resignation.
