Former Texas Deputies Acquitted in 2019 Death of Javier Ambler II

The acquittal follows a high-profile case involving a police chase and multiple tasings, captured on the reality TV show 'Live PD.'

Two former Texas sheriff's deputies, James Johnson and Zachary Camden, were acquitted of all charges in the 2019 death of Javier Ambler II, who died after being tased multiple times following a police chase.
The chase and subsequent incident were captured on the reality TV show 'Live PD,' which was filming with the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office at the time.
Ambler's family reached a $5 million settlement with Williamson County in 2021 over a wrongful death lawsuit.
Both deputies resigned after the Williamson County Sheriff, Robert Chody, lost reelection in November 2020.
The case has brought national attention to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office and led Texas to ban partnerships between law enforcement and TV reality shows.
