Man dies while in Tuscaloosa police custody

Let's interview the woman he chocked out and raped and get her opinion on this incident?

Ware, who is black

he resisted arrest.

TPD had a warrant to charge Ware for attempting to elude police. Ware was arrested in September after a woman told officers that he choked her until she was unconscious, sexually assaulted her and stole her 2011 Honda Accord. The woman recanted that statement in a letter that is included in the court documents. A judge denied his request to dismiss the case, which was pending when he died. In 1999, Ware was arrested for shoplifting a pair of shorts and fighting officers at the Parisians store at University Mall. Court records indicate that he resisted arrest and that officers used pepper spray. He also had convictions for second-degree assault, escape, drug possession and drug trafficking.

Cops fricking suck like that. They murdered a kid locally by masking him and spraying him april of 2013... Best part was when he was complaining he couldn't breathe, "if you can talk, you can breathe." Official cause of death, homicide via asphyxiation, no pigs fired either. Kid was a white btw.

That's ridiculous. It could easily happen in the south.

It won't happen in this instance though as it does appear the Tuscaloosa Police is doing all they can to get as much info out to the public in a timely manner. Ferguson and Baltimore were fueled by the police not releasing much info.

Daniel's life wasn't always easy and like a lot of teenagers, he made mistakes. On March 2 of last year, Daniel apparently smoked the popular, and once legal, "spice."

"He made a choice to use synthetic marijuana," says his mom, Valerie Linsinbigler, "and it landed him in jail."

Apparently suffering some kind of psychotic break, Daniel entered two apartments at the Stay Suites inn in Orange Park. Without permission -- or any clothes – police say he charged into two apartments, yelling Bible scriptures and proclaiming he was Jesus

The occupant of the cell next to him, blaming the police for everything:

Linsinbigler had been in jail for more than a week and, according to Farr, wanted to make a written request to see his attorney. But while deputies apparently gave him the form, they would not give him anything to write with. He was on suicide watch. No pencils allowed.

According to Farr, the guards didn't just deny Linsinbigler. They mocked him.

"They were all making fun of him," Farr told investigators with the Clay County Sheriff's Office. "They were calling him a Jesus freak, a God freak … [teasing him] about his religious beliefs: 'God cant' help you now. God can't give you a pencil."

Jail employees didn't mention teasing in their interviews with investigators from either the Florida Department of Law Enforcement or CCSO Internal Affairs. But all agree that at some point, Linsinbigler's agitation grew physical. He began kicking and punching his cell door. A later autopsy found only "minor abrasions" on his hands, but officers said they were concerned for his safety.

"We really believed he was going to hurt himself," Clay County Deputy Rodney Houldson told investigators in a recently concluded Internal Affairs investigation.

From the articles I read, sounds like it was an awful outcome to an unfortunate situation. It also sounds like the kid was out of control.

So, at about 8:30 that morning, according to all accounts, officers entered his cell, subdued him with pepper spray and strapped him into a restraint chair. The order to use pepper spray, according to officers, came from Sergeant Robert Heaps. Deputy Houldson complied with the order, but told investigators he didn't agree with it.

"I did not want to even spray this guy," he told Internal Affairs. "I didn't need to. I'm a big guy, controlling this guy was not going to be an issue for me at all. He was a fragile guy as it was."

Immobilized in the chair, with nylon straps tight across his arms, legs and chest, Linsinbigler began to produce a large volume saliva and mucus – a reaction to the pepper spray. To prevent getting contaminated by the fluids, officers covered his head with a nylon and mesh hood – a so-called "spit mask."

What happened next depends on who's talking. At least three inmates say Linsinbigler began pleading for help.

According to Farr, in the cell next door, "He started complaining that he was having chest pains: 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe, get this hood off. I'm going to behave … Just let me get some air I have to be able to breathe.'"

Inmate John Jarvis, in an adjacent cell, gave a similar account. "He was begging to have [the hood removed], gasping, saying I can't breath[e]." (Jarvis says one officer responded, "If you can talk, you can breathe.")

Accounts from corrections officers differ. None recalled hearing Linsinbigler begging for help, though his chair was outside the guard station, in the middle of the cellblock. None of the officers recalled specifically what he said in his final hour. All say he was monitored every 15 minutes, as required by jail policy.

Shortly after 9 am, Linsinbigler stopped yelling and moving. His eyes and mouth hung open, his skin turned ashy gray. Corrections officers removed him from his chair and began CPR. When that failed, they called 911. Despite those efforts, Linsinbigler was unresponsive. He was taken to Orange Park medical center where he was declared dead.
