Man dies after being detained by security guards in Arden-Arcade 03:56

SACRAMENTO — The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death of a man who died in the custody of two private security guards.

It happened on Saturday morning at an auto dealership off of Fulton Avenue in the Arden-Arcade area.

Sacramento Protective Services, the company the private security guards work for, thinks the suspect overdosed on fentanyl and did not die because of the excessive force of its security guards. Investigators won’t be able to make that call until the autopsy comes back.

“The whole time he was screaming, ‘Come on, I am not doing nothing. I am not going anywhere,’ ” said Ana McBride, who witnessed what happened.

McBride told CBS13 that she felt guilty that she was the one who called the security guards to begin with, saying the man had a history of trespassing at the auto dealership on Fulton Avenue, breaking into cars and store windows.

“It disgusts me that it went that far,” McBride said. “It should have never went that far.”
