NEW: Two Canton police officers indicted for reckless homicide in the death of Frank Tyson
Beau Schoenegge and Camden Burch have been indicted for reckless homicide in the April 2024 death of 53-year-old Frank Tyson while in police custody.
After wrecking into a utility pole, Tyson ran into an AMVETS club and asked someone to call the sheriff, but Canton police responded instead.
A struggle ensued inside the club.
Tyson was taken to the ground, handcuffed, and placed on his stomach with an officerโs knee on his back.
Bodycam footage captured Tyson repeatedly saying he couldnโt breathe at least seven times in one minute.
Once detained, he was left face down on the floor of the club for approximately five minutes before being attended to.
He was transported to the hospital still in handcuffs and later died.
The coroner ruled the death a homicide, with contributing factors including cocaine, alcohol, and cardiopulmonary arrest.
A trial date has been set for August 10, 2026. If convicted, each officer faces up to 36 months in prison.
