A Suicidal, Drug-Intoxicated Inmate Dies After Being Restrained

In December 2022, an inmate who was suspected of being on drugs was restrained by police officers and died soon afterward. The suspect had been found in possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. Officers decided that they would transport the man to a medical unit where he could be placed on suicide watch.

However, the man resisted arrest. A great deal of struggle was required to ultimately place him in restraints. In fact, statements were made that the suspect exhibited abnormal strength that was likely due to the influence of an illegal drug.

The inmate was later booked into jail, moved to a cell, and placed on the floor for the purpose of removing the restraints. After the restraints were removed, deputies were preparing to leave when they saw that the inmate was not breathing.

This is a new story, and no details have been provided as to the specific type of restraint system used on the inmate.
