FDLE investigating death of man who was transported to the hospital 10 minutes after being booked into the Alachua County Jail

Press release from Gainesville Police Department

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – At approximately 7:19 a.m. today, an employee from Circle K at 3901 SW Archer Rd called dispatch to report an adult male who was trying car door handles and behaving abnormally, punching the air. Gainesville Police Department Officers responded and warned the adult male for trespassing on behalf of Circle K.

At approximately 12:25 p.m., another employee from the same Circle K (3901 SW Archer Rd) called dispatch to report an adult male who was causing a disturbance. The caller said the male was the same subject who was warned for trespassing earlier. The complainant reported that the male was attempting to gain entry into vehicles and trying to get physical with staff. At 12:42 p.m., GPD Officers made contact with the male and placed him under arrest for Trespassing without incident.

At approximately 1:16 p.m., the adult male was taken to the jail and then subsequently transported to HCA Florida Millhopper Emergency (4388 NW 53rd Ave) for medical evaluation at approximately 1:26 p.m. After approximately one hour at the emergency facility, the adult male suffered a medical event and died.

The circumstances surrounding the event are still under investigation. At this time, the identity of the prisoner will not be released as the next of kin has not been notified.

As per policy and procedures, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is conducting an investigation. The case is being monitored by the Gainesville Police Department’s Internal Affairs Division.

  • Well, DUH! Anyone w/ a fully functioning frontal lobe knows that GPD is racist!🤦‍♀️

    • It sounds like he probably died from not having whatever drug he was addicted to. Addicts will literally die if they try and quit their drugs without medical help

    • Color wasn’t mentioned. Bright side, cut down on the phone bill.

    • “Retired” that’s a funny way of saying your license was revoked. Also, you have a DUI in Duval county.

    • Obviously you don’t qualify on the “fully functioning frontal lobe” criteria. You’re also a disgrace to nursing.

  • DUH🤦‍♀️ Anyone w/ a fully functioning frontal lobe understands that GPD is racist🤦‍♀️ My spouse contacted them to come arrest people who invaded our property & they went immediately to my garden helpers who happened to be African Americans instead of the people my spouse pointed out as they were getting out of Dodge.

    • Many libs want to exploit people of color to do yardwork for them at a reduced cost, especially kids/teenagers. Then people wonder why they sometimes come back and steal things. I see Facebook posts like “Don’t call the police if you see a suspicious person, because it could be someone I hired” (meaning some youth of color). You should have hired professionals with a truck with signage instead of continuing the Dem tradition of slavery. I’m assuming that was the case because I see it all the time. “We CARE SO MUCH, but we’ll pay a kid from the ghetto half or a third what someone else would charge, and we’ll act like we’re doing them a favor.” Maybe the police recognized one of the guys in your yard from a previous incident. Or maybe they wanted to ask them what they saw, especially if you seemed like your credibility was questionable, which is probably not out of the question.

      • Hiring someone IS doing them a favor. Funny how conservative pricks like you want everybody to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, but as soon as someone hires a black kid to do some honest work you gotta take a shot at “liberals” for giving them the opportunity. Wether it was an actual liberal that hired them or not is beside the point as long as you can use it as an opportunity to foment about how much you hate half of America. Since when is paying somebody to do a job akin to slavery? Last time I checked slaves weren’t paid at all. I think your entire rant boils down to the fact that you’re just plain scared of black people. Pathetic.

        • The same loony women are against development on the Eastside, which would give teens opportunities to get real jobs with possible futures instead of schlepping a lawnmower around from door to door, hoping to make a few bucks from the “good will” (that’s sarcasm) of some libtards. Hire adults with actual businesses, whatever color they are.

    • This sounds like a made up story. The kind of story that (((rootless cosmopolitans))) come up with.

    • But, seriously, how on earth is that comment in any way related to this article about an inmate who had a medical event and died?

  • So, what’s the problem? Is this DeSantis’ FDLE, or Gillum’s?
    Cops cannot do a whole host of drug tests on every GRACE or meridian dropout. Not until cops get honorary MDs — and pay raises to match that of the the judges.
