“Let me go, let me go!” the 64-year-old suspect yelled as the employees held him down, according to police.
Higgins, a Walmart support manager, Nunez, a customer service manager, and Toko, who works in the store’s loss prevention unit, were arrested last week based on a medical examiner’s findings, which determined the cause of death was mechanical asphyxia — strangling or choking by hand. The autopsy also revealed Wisham had 15 broken ribs.
Each employee faces one manslaughter charge. They were arrested on Thursday and appeared before a judge Friday. According to James “Rusty” Franklin, the attorney for Higgins, all three have bonded out of jail.
