BERKELEY COUNTY, W.Va. (WCHS) — Part of the fallout of the ongoing probe into the West Virginia State Police has been Gov. Jim Justice calling on his new Interim State Police Superintendent Jack Chambers to put a fresh set of eyes on the case where a man died along Interstate 81 in Berkeley County.

Edmond Exline, 45, was walking on the evening of Feb. 12 along the interstate near Martinsburg.

West Virginia State Police said a caller reported a man walking along the side of the road appeared to be intoxicated. When officers arrived, the release from State Police claims there was some sort of struggle that resulted in Exline becoming unresponsive and officers were unable to resuscitate him.

Brian Abraham, the governor's chief of staff, said tasers were used multiple times on Exline.

“It ended up culminating in that individual being subjected to a taser on multiple occasions and ultimately had cardiac arrest or something, but he was unable to be resuscitated on scene," Abraham said.

In the midst of an ongoing investigation into wrongdoing at the headquarters of the State Police that resulted in former superintendent Jan Cahill resigning, the governor has ordered the Exline case to become a top priority.

"I’ve seen the video. The video is very, very concerning," Justice said.

The video Justice is referring to is from body cameras worn by troopers on that Sunday evening. The video has not been released to the public.

Eyewitness News filed a Freedom of Information Act request days after Exline's death, but that request was denied due to it being an active investigation.

“We have seen the video," Abraham said. "There have been some autopsy photos provided, but let me be clear. The Governor’s Office did not maintain possession of that evidence, so we’re not going to be providing that."

Friends and family told Eyewitness News that Exline was a paranoid schizophrenic and was likely having a mental health episode.

After Cahill was forced to resign from State Police, he had an interview with Hoppy Kercheval on MetroNews' "Talkline." Cahill said the video is dark, but the audio is what concerned him immediately with what the troopers on scene were shouting and commanding.

Cahill said every box was checked and that this remained an ongoing investigation. Justice said he now hands the internal investigation over to the new interim State Police superintendent.

The Berkeley County Prosecuting Attorney's Office turned the case over to a special prosecutor. Eyewitness News has confirmed that the case is now in the hands of Grant County Prosecutor John Ours, and it will be his office's call whether criminal charges are filed against the three troopers present.

“It’s not entirely clear. There are parts of the video that are dark," Abraham said. "Until you get the final report, it’s hard to make that ultimate decision."

The three troopers remain on administrative leave.

The mother of Exline's son, Tina Balzhiser, has created a GoFundMepage to help cover funeral expenses. Balzhiser released a statement to Eyewitness News, asking society as a whole to do better in helping people struggling with mental health disorders.

The statement reads in part:

He was the best dad that he knew how to be, and if there is anything in this world that my son knows it's that his dad loved him, and his dad did not deserve to die at the hands that should be protecting him. We need to hold not only the West Virginia State Police responsible, but the United States. We need to work as a country and get long-term facilities for our mentally ill. We put these mentally ills in hospitals long enough to make them seem a little normal then throw them back out on the streets. It doesn't work, and it's just getting worse.
