Olivares explained that an inmate from the Carrizales Detention Center had suffered a cardiac arrest while being transported to the hospital. Following protocol, I immediately contacted the Texas Rangers and was advised that Ranger Rodney Henderson would be responding. I then proceeded to the Carrizales Detention Center, located at 7100 Old Alice Road in Olmito, Texas. Upon arrival, I proceeded to the infirmary, where I obtained the following information: Inmate Information: Name: Javier Sepulveda D.O.B.: 11/01/1967 Age: 58 Housing Location: Charlie 5 POD Medical History: Diabetes Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 7 --- PAGE BREAK --- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Asthma Hepatitis Kidney Stones Arthritis Medications: Lisinopril 20 mg Tamsulosin HCl 0.4 mg Advair Diskus 250/50 mcg Ventolin HFA 108 mcg Omeprazole 40 mg Folic Acid Methotrexate Sodium 50 mg Prednisone 10 mg I then made contact with Jailer Angel Ruedas, D.O.B. 06/12/2007, who explained that he was assigned as the runner for his shift and responded to a medical episode in Charlie 5.
