Adams County jail deputies failed to follow best practices and sheriff’s office policy when they restrained a handcuffed inmate experiencing a medical emergency face-down on a gurney before he died, according to a 17th Judicial District grand jury report released Thursday.who had a medical emergency in his cell the morning of Dec. 24, 2022, according to a report released by the district attorney’s office.
But jurors said they were concerned about deputies putting Roybal at risk for suffocation by restraining him face-down on a gurney for 15 minutes while he was handcuffed. The sergeant on duty rejected other forms of restraining Roybal that would have kept him upright, according to the grand jury’s report.
During the investigation, jurors interviewed a police expert who “questioned why any deputy or sergeant would suggest that Mr. Roybal be placed face-down on the gurney, as that necessarily increases the risk of causing injury or death,” according to the report. The grand jury report recommended the sheriff’s office enhance training on using restraint devices and risks of “positional asphyxia” and improve communication between medical workers and deputies.
