At approximately 4:43 PM, Floor Rovers responded to the disturbance. Upon arriving, found the inmates had stopped fighting (Inmate Hinton was sitting on the dayroom table). While waiting for an elevator, Inmate Hinton advised he was having difficulty breathing, he was given water and advised to calm down.

Health Services personnel indicated Inmate Hinton refused medical treatment and was subsequently returned to a holdover on the 5th floor, 1200 jail, pending completion of an offense report. At approximately 5:05 PM, Inmate Hinton was observed by a detention officer lying on the floor of the holdover and became concerned because the inmate was not responding.
