Daily Links Excerpt of the Day

It could be weeks before authorities know what killed an Arizona man who had a chaotic run-in with police earlier this week and died a day later.

Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness said toxicology and lab analysis for 40-year-old Thomas Martinez, Jr. will likely take several weeks. Until then, Lyness said officials won’t know for certain what killed him.

“We have to wait until the autopsy and toxicology come back,” she said.

In the meantime, all four officers involved in the incident remain on active duty. Coralville Police Chief Barry Bedford said he is limited in what he can say so as to not interfere with the ongoing investigation, but emphasized the faith he has in his officers has not been shaken by this incident.
