CENTENNIAL, Colo. | An investigation is underway after an inmate was found dead in a booking cell at the Arapahoe County jail.
The sheriff’s office says 28-year-old James Proctor was found unresponsive during an inmate count early Thursday morning and was pronounced dead about 20 minutes later. Littleton police had arrested him on a warrant for failing to appear in court on a DUI case, and he was brought to the jail Wednesday afternoon.
Deputies say he was alive when they checked on him about 3 ½ hours before he was found unresponsive.
Proctor was in the cell with another inmate, but investigators say there is no indication of foul play.
Seems to be happening a lot in Colorado, 5 this year have died on jails. Without knowing the details, really doesn’t seem right…
I agree ! What is going on ? We need answers!
overdose?
Overdose that long after being in jail doesn’t seem to likely. It could be withdrawal. Amy Winehouse died of quitting cold turkey…
