[image:1 align:right]A Baton Rouge, Louisiana, man died last Thursday evening after apparently swallowing drugs as police executed a search warrant. Dontrunner Robinson, 32, becomes the 11th person to die in US domestic drug law enforcement operations so far this year.
According to Baton Rouge's Fox 44 TV, citing Baton Rouge police, Baton Rouge narcotics detectives went to a Flag Street address to serve a search warrant. The police reported that "detectives noticed the subject was in distress and called for EMS."
Robinson was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Police said they believed he had swallowed crack cocaine.
The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office was contacted, and detectives from that office will investigate the death. But police said no foul play is suspected and detectives are awaiting autopsy results.
