Authorities are investigating the death of a Fort Polk soldier while in police custody at the U.S. Army post in west-central Louisiana. The Army has withheld the soldier's name.

Military and civilian police were summoned Friday night by a report that someone was trying to get into a military housing unit, Fort Polk said in a statement. The first military policeman to arrive spotted the soldier who matched the suspect's description.

The soldier ran off and, when caught, began resisting the military and civilian policemen employed by the Army, the statement said. They used a Taser gun and pepper spray to subdue him.
