00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: leading to his detention on a disorderly conduct charge. Here's

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: the nine to one one call when a business owner

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: phoned in to say she thought the preacher was having

19
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: reported that is Bail became uncooperative, fell in his cell,

20
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: and was placed in a restraint chair, where he later

21
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: became unresponsive, hanging on on one's hell, Well, we need

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: MS and right, we have pet on progress. Okay, we'll

00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: You know? I do not ring you, old boy? Boy?

00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: Change up? Okay? How long has he been down for?

00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: How long you've been down for? I just I go

Speaker 1: give him a hand? All right, I'll let you go.

28
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: EMS and first responder head of that way, okay, which

29
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: where they need to come to. He was then transported

30
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: to the hospital, but was pronounced dead upon arrival. Sheriff

31
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: Tommy Jones had suspended five deputies involved in the incident

32
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: last month. The indictment now implicates these deputies, along with

33
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: two nurses. Nurse Courtney Woods faces charges of criminally negligent homicide.

34
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: The following deputies are indicted for misconduct with the intent

35
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: to gain a benefit or to harm another Joshua Brown,

36
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Beard, Joshua Duncan, Michael Longmire, and Tommy Reagan. Additionally,

37
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: nurse Greg Mills has been indicted for submitting a false

38
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: report In a statement released on Wednesday, Sheriff Jones noted

39
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: that the initial autopsy had concluded that Isbel died of

40
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: natural causes, leading to the terminatortion of two deputies. At

41
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: that time. However, six months later, the medical examiner revised

42
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: the cause of death to homicide. Sheriff Jones expressed his

43
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: confusion regarding the amendment of the autopsy report. Doctor Suzuki,

44
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: the medical examiner, explained that her decision to change the

45
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: cause of death followed her review of additional video footage

46
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: of Isbel. While restrained. In his statement, Sheriff Jones remarked,

47
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: I have thoroughly reviewed all available recordings which were submitted

48
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: to the TBI during the initial investigation that commenced the

49
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: day after mister Isbel's death. Where policy violations were identified,

50
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: appropriate actions have been taken. Do I believe that any

51
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: of my staff is guilty of homicide. Absolutely not, The

52
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: sheriff said, I have concerns that the investigation may have

53
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: been swayed by selective information and outside influences, but I

54
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: will continue to fully cooperate rate with the legal process.

55
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: According to the sheriff, all seven individuals indicted have posted bond.

56
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: He confirmed that deputy's finger Henry Spencer, Duncan, and Reagan

57
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: were terminated on Wednesday following their release. Meanwhile, Stephen Hatchett,

58
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: the district attorney representing the county, commented, the grand jury

59
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: is an independent entity that reached their conclusions based on

60
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: the law and facts presented. While some might argue that

61
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: additional individuals should have been held accountable for mister Isabel's fate,

62
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: it is ultimately the Grand Jury's prerogative to make that determination.

63
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: I respect their verdict and will act in accordance with

64
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: the law. Count on Crime Alert hourly update to keep
