Police received a report around 2 p.m. Monday of a woman bleeding while laying on the ground and a man standing over her, according to Richmond police spokesman Sgt. Aaron Pomeroy. The officers reportedly used a Taser stun gun to subdue Dwayne after they found him trying to eat his dead grandma and he wouldn’t listen to instructions to stop. A physical altercation broke out between officers and Dwayne before he was handcuffed. (RELATED: FACT CHECK: Video Claims A NYC Restaurant Got A License To Serve Human Meat)
