Attorneys representing three Glasgow Police Department officers accused of using excessive force against a man who died in custody have asked for dismissal of a federal lawsuit against the officers.

At issue in the lawsuit is the actions of the officers - Guy Turcotte, Hayden Phillips and Cameron Murrell - during their response to an incident involving Jeremy Marr on April 14, 2020.

Police were called that day to a house on Cleveland Avenue after someone reported a man entered unlawfully.

In GPD body camera footage obtained by the Daily News through an open records request, Marr, 35, is first seen in the doorway of the house. The first thing Marr can be heard to say in the 10-minute clip is "please don't hurt me, man."

During the interaction with Turcotte, Marr says people are after him. When asked whether he has any weapons, Marr says he has a knife.

Marr is told by police not to get the knife out of his pocket and is later told by Turcotte to sit on the bumper of his police cruiser.

At some point while attempting to secure Marr in custody, Turcotte grabs Marr by the neck of his jacket and turns him around to face the bumper of the police cruiser.

Another officer then appears in the footage to attempt to get Marr's hands on the cruiser. Marr is heard saying "I don't deserve this, man" and "please don't kill me" as police attempt to place him in handcuffs.

He is then taken to the ground, where officers deployed stun guns against him as he lied face down and commanded him to put his hands behind his back.

Body camera footage shows multiple stun gun strikes to Marr's lower back.

Marr was also reportedly struck with a knee while being restrained, and he became unresponsive within a few minutes of coming into contact with police.

He was taken to the emergency room at T.J. Samson Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Kentucky State Police, which investigated the incident, said Marr experienced a "medical emergency" during the encounter.

Marr's cause of death was described as due to "agitated/excited delirium complicating acute methamphetamine intoxication during the process of law enforcement arrest" by Dr. Darius Arabadjief of the Kentucky Office of the Medical Examiner, records show.

Arabadjief's examination found Marr to have methamphetamine and amphetamine in his system and noted there was an absence of lethal trauma.
