Arthur Roybal died after a 16-minute facedown, strapped-down restraint on a gurney in 2022. His death appears to be clear violation of Adams County policy.
Nearly a year and a half after a botched transport of a mentally ill inmate inside the Adams County Detention Center led to the inmate’s death, not one of the deputies involved in the transport has faced an internal review or official punishment,The transport of Arthur Roybal on Christmas Eve 2022 appears to be a clear violation of Adams County's own policy that prohibits deputies from placing inmates “facedown or in a position that inhibits breathing.
The cell extraction, by all accounts, was by the book. They entered the cell, handcuffed him without too much resistance, and carried him down a flight of stairs to a gurney.Instead of placing him onto the gurney on his back – or faceup – a decision was made to keep him facedown. It’s not clear what is taking the 17th Judicial district attorney so long to make public the results of its investigation. The incident was captured on body cameras. The autopsy was completed precisely one year ago.
The other road consists of a largely administrative review. The job of that review is to determine whether any policy violations occurred during the death. If so, the officers involved could face consequences right up to dismissal. Waiting for the criminal review to conclude before starting an internal review, he said, “is not good service to your community, it’s not good service to your agency, and it’s not good practice.”
