The source's account
Fatal Encounters' description of the incident, verbatim. This is the source project's own third-party narrative, not this site's reporting.
Sharron Norman was arrested 1:30 a.m. after staff at Crown Fried Chicken called 911. Police said the staff reported that Norman was threatening customers and damaging property in the store. Two Haddon Township Police officers responded to the call and struggled with Norman while taking him into custody. One officer sustained "superficial injuries." Norman died in the back of a Haddon Township police car despite efforts to perform CPR on him.
