A police officer has been charged with murder over the death of former Aston Villa striker Dalian Atkinson.
Atkinson collapsed and later died after he was Tasered in Telford in August 2016.
He was struck by a 50,000-volt shock after reportedly threatening his elderly father on the doorstep of his home, says the Mirror.
He went into cardiac arrest and died in hospital 90 minutes later.
Witnesses on Meadow Close claimed officers discharged their stun guns twice more after Atkinson had hit the pavement.
A spokesperson for the Crown Prosecution confirmed on Thursday that two officers of West Mercia police had been charged over the death.
One of those officers has been charged with murder, the other with ABH.
