Trooper Powers identified the driver as Jeffery Wayne Barefield. Trooper Powers discovered that Barefield had an outstanding warrant for a parole violation. Trooper Powers placed Barefield in handcuffs and secured him in the marked DPS patrol car while the warrant was being confirmed through DPS San Antonio Communications. While the warrant was being confirmed, Trooper Powers conducted a Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 7 --- PAGE BREAK --- consensual search of Barefield's vehicle where he located a clear plastic bag with a white crystal substance residue in it. The bag appeared to have been torn open by Barefield's teeth and was wet, which led Trooper Powers to believe Barefield may have ingested the substance that was in the bag. When Trooper Powers returned to his patrol car, Barefield was saying it hurt but never said what hurt. Even though Trooper Powers pleaded with him to say what he ate, Barefield refused. As Barefield's medical condition worsened, Trooper Powers called for EMS and had Barefield step out of the patrol car. Trooper Powers noticed that Barefield started shaking and believed he was going into a seizure. After this, Barefield was conscious but became unresponsive. Trooper Powers removed the handcuffs and tried to have Barefield sit on the ground. Trooper Powers released Barefield to EMS personnel as soon as they arrived on scene. EMS transported Barefield to Connelly Memorial Medical Center in Floresville, Texas. While being treated at the hospital, Barefield's condition continued to worsen, and he died at 11:15 PM.
