Summary:
REPORT BY OFFICER COX #102... ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2021, AT APPROXIMATELY 0336
HRS, I WAS FILLING OUT PAPERWORK AT THE MAIN DESK IN THE JAIL WHEN DETENTION OFFICER
DARRYL STARR (B/M 09/29/1978) YELLED FOR ME TO COME TO THE WOMANS BLOCK 4. OFFICER
EDWARDS #162 WAS WITH ME AS WELL.
WHEN I GOT TO THE BLOCK I OBSERVED A WHITE FEMALE, LATER IDENTIFIED AS PATSY ROSAS
(W/F, 05/13/1974) LYING FACE DOWN WITH THE TOP OF HER HEAD FACING WEST WITH A BLOOD
POOL AROUND HER HEAD. STARR AND MYSELF TURNED HER OVER AND I CHECKED FOR
BREATHING AND A PULSE BUT COULDN'T FIND ONE. I THEN STARTED ADMINISTERING CHEST
COMPRESSIONS TO PATSY. WHILE ADMINISTERING CHEST COMPRESSION, I TOLD DETENTION
OFFICER APRIL BRUNO (W/F, 04/01/1990) TO GET THE AED READY TO BE USED. WITH THE HELP OF
DETENTION OFFICER BLAKE HILL (W/M, 05/04/1999), BRUNO WAS ABLE TO GET IT OUT AND I
ASSISTED HER WITH PLACING THE CHEST PADS ON PATSY'S CHEST. FROM THERE I LET THE AED
DO THE WORK UNTIL IT TOLD ME TO DO MORE CHEST COMPRESSIONS. I CONTINUED TO DO
CHEST COMPRESSIONS UNTIL BAYTOWN EMS MEDIC 4 ARRIVED ON SCENE TO TAKE OVER.
MEDIC WORKED ON PATSY IN THE BLOCK UNTIL THEY COULD GET HER READY FOR TRANSPORT.
LET IT BE KNOWN, PATSY WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE BAYTOWN JAIL BY OFFICER PIGG #92 ON
09/01/2021 AT APPROXIMATELY 2255 HRS ON A PROSTITUTION CHARGE OUT OF HARRIS COUNTY.
LATER AFTER EVERYTHING CALMED DOWN, I ASKED STARR WHAT HAPPENED. STARR ADVISED
EVERYTHING WAS OKAY WITH PATSY WHEN THE 0130 CELL CHECK WAS COMPLETED. STARR
FURTHER ADVISED WHEN DETENTION OFFICER HILL CONDUCTED THE 0330 CELL CHECK PATSY
WAS FOUND LYING ON THE GROUND AND THEN THAT'S WHEN HE ALONG WITH BRUNO WAS
CALLED DOWN TO THE BLOCK. STARR ADVISED HE WALKED DOWN OBSERVED PATSY ON THE
GROUND AND SHOOK HER AND CHECKED FOR A PULSE BUT COULDN'T FIND ONE, STARR

ADVISED HE CALLED FOR EMS AND THEN CALLED FOR ME.
I CONTACTED HILL WHO ADVISED WHILE HE WAS DOING THE 0330 CELL CHECK, HE PEERED
INSIDE CELL BLOCK 4 AND NOTICED A PAIR OF FEET STICKING OUT FROM BEHIND THE WALL IN
THE BATHROOM AREA AND CALLED FOR A SUPERVISOR TO COME DOWN AND TO CHECK IT OUT.
WHEN THEY WENT INSIDE AND OBSERVED PATSY ON THE FLOOR, HILL ADVISED HE AND BRUNO
GOT THE OTHER SUBJECTS IN THE CELL BLOCK OUT.
I STAYED ON SCENE UNTIL SGT JONES #20 ARRIVED.
OFFICER EDWARDS FOLLOWED EMS TO THE HOUSTON METHODIST HOSPITAL. SEE EDWARDS
