GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. -- The Georgia Bureau of Investigation released new details regarding an officer-involved altercation that ended with one man dead.

According to the Gwinnett County Police Department, officers were called to a home on Rock Place Drive in unincorporated Stone Mountain around 4 a.m.

The caller said that a man - later identified as George Mann - was irate and possibly armed while locked in his garage.

An altercation ensued when five officers went to make contact with the man, according to police.

The GBI said that police stunned the man with a taser when he resisted officers.

The man went unresponsive at the scene and was transported to Eastside Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

A gun and suspected methamphetamine were found in the garage.

A specific cause of death has not been released.

ATLANTA (WXIA) -- When she called for a boycott of Stone Mountain Park, Georgia State Rep. LaDawn Jones (D-Atlanta) says she knew she might face a backlash.

And she says she got it. Rep. Jones wants the state-owned Stone Mountain Park to remove its displays of Confederate battle flags. She says she has gotten an abundance of email in the last few days.

One suggested she should be grateful for slavery.

"You owe your very existence to those dark times," a critic wrote to the African American lawmaker.

A writer also suggested that a physical conflict could result. "Rest assured you will be met at the gates of Stone Mountain by my Southern brothers and myself on the day that you come to take the flags down."

But Rep. Jones says the Confederate flag backlash has also opened her eyes.
