Summary of Incident
Summary of How the Death Occurred: (max. 30,000 characters)
Summary:
Officers received a call of a intoxicated man in the area of 301 West 7th Street in Cisco, Texas. Upon arrival
Officers believed that the man was intoxicated due to ingesting possible methamphetamine. The man
subsequently failed to give his correct name and date of birth to officers on scene. After a brief examination
by medics on scene the man was taken straight to the nearest hospital, Eastland Memorial Hospital in
Eastland, Texas. The man was taken to the medical facility and was later identified and a warrant was
confirmed which was a TDCJ Warrant for Parole Violations. Man was treated at the facility where life saving
measures were performed. He was later pronounced dead by the Doctor on site. A quantity of controlled
substance was found on his person.
