TULSA, Okla. (AP) - The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office says a
31-year-old jail inmate has died.
Sgt. Shannon Clark says Damien Tucker died Friday after possibly
going into cardiac arrest.
Clark says Tucker started feeling sick in his cell and contacted
a detention officer for help. He says Tucker lost consciousness
soon afterward and was taken to the jails medical unit.
Clark says Tucker was then transported by ambulance to Hillcrest
Medical Center, where he later died.
Tucker was booked into Tulsa Jail in November 2008 on charges of
robbery with a dangerous weapon and eluding a police officer, among
other counts.
Clark says the Medical Examiner's Office in Tulsa will determine
a cause of death.
