After his face had water applied to decontaminate him from the deployed oleoresin capsicum (QC), the 32-year-old detainee was making irrational statements such as him being Jesus Christ. He resisted arrest, resisted transportation, and assaulted deputies who were in the process of placing him in a patrol unit for transportation to the Cameron County Jail. Emergency Medical Services were summoned to evaluate the detainee, but he continued being combative and was unresponsive to EMS questioning. Cameron County Sheriff Deputies transported him in a marked patrol unit to the Cameron County Carrizales/Rucker Detention Center. During transport, the detainee was banging his head against the patrol unit’s partition.
