Riverside County has reached a $7.5 million settlement with the family of a man who died after a violent confrontation with law enforcement while in jail.

The incident occurred on Oct. 22, 2020, when neighbors of Zumalt's called 911 when he began acting erratically while on methamphetamine. But instead of calling in mental health professions to de-escalate the situation, Burton said correctional deputies decided they needed to extract him from the cell. The entire incident was captured on video, not only from surveillance cameras inside the jail, but from a handheld camera used by an employee.

After a few minutes, Burton said one of the deputies noticed that Zumalt had become unresponsive and called paramedics.
