Expert Witness Report
Our Original Report
Witness interview April 12, 2013
Daniel J Linsinbigler Jr. died Tuesday in
a Clay County jail cell. Local news reports have focused on Linsinbigler's
strange behavior prior to his arrest. Linsinbigler is alleged to have been
running naked in 30° weather prior to his arrest. He is alleged to have
consumed unknown drugs and synthetic marijuana leading to his contact with the
police.
But very little is known about his death.
Police officials have released limited information. The Clay County Sheriff's
office will only say that Linsinbigler was in restraints when he died.
PoliceAbuse.com has breaking news on this
story. Inmates who witnessed Linsinbigler's death have contacted
PoliceAbuse.com. According to the witnesses who were on the floor in solitary
confinement Linsinbigler could be heard begging for his life after he had been
pepper sprayed and locked in restraints. According to inmates housed on the
same floor Linsinbigler screamed as jail guards placed a plastic bag over his
head. The inmates contacted PoliceAbuse.com fearing retaliation from jail
staff. We are contacting the FBI and the Florida Department of law enforcement
with evidence related to this abuse investigation. Jacksonville Times Union report
We are also investigating a complaint in
the Holmes
County Florida jail.
Case Update
On March 19th, at approximately 3 PM
PoliceAbuse.com was contacted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. We
provided the lead detective with evidence.
This is an active law enforcement
investigation. Because we have reported crimes to the police
investigators we will have no further comment until the Florida Department of
Law Enforcement completes its investigation. We do not want anything published
on our site to interfere with the investigation.
If you have been a victim of abuse in the
Clay County jail please call our office 800-473-5097.
