Clint Yarbrough was brought into the Fourth Avenue jail in December 2005.

Deputies said he appeared drugged and became combative, so guards put him in a restaint chair and wheeled him into a hallway where he sat for more than three hours.

He eventually passed out and was transported to a local hospital where he died.

Yarbrough's family filed a claim against the county and the sheriff's department.

CBS 5 News investigated new details about that claim. In mid-April, the county board of supervisors agreed to settle it for $2 million.

Last August, Arpaio announced he was no longer using the highly controversial restaint chairs. Instead, detention officers now use what is called a safe bed.
