EL PASO, Texas —
Sgt. James Brown, who died while serving a three-day sentence at the El Paso County Jail, is said to have died of sickle cell crisis, officials said.
Brown, 26, of Fort Bliss, voluntarily checked into the county jail the evening of July 13. He reported to serve two days of a driving while intoxicated sentence. His family said he was instructed by the court to check in at 8 p.m. and that he would be released on July 15.
Instead, Brown's family said the soldier died while in jail custody July 14 after being given an injection apparently intended to sedate him.
His family said was not a combative individual.
Brown's attorney said that the autopsy report was "the most ridiculous report (he's) ever seen."
The attorney is sending the El Paso County medical examiner's report to a forensic pathologist.
