Man jailed for months over $5 theft found dead in cell

Should have stole some Life Savers

If you can't do the time don't do the repeated crimes.

Another case where the victim suffered the results of his own actions and the families so distraught that they need accountability from someone living so that they can obtain some type of relief by facing those they want to blame. When medical science figures out what causes mental illness, then maybe we can blame the living. If it is found to be primarily genetic, you can only blame yourself or your ancestors. If it is caused solely by influences in childhood, once again, the families must accept both the blame and the responsibility. If it was due to an accidental but unavoidable injury, then everyone simply has to live with it and deal with it as best as we can. Until then, blame becomes the replacement for accountability.

If his family was so worried why didn't they get him the help he needed for years, he wouldn't take his meds and HE wouldn't eat sounds like he did it his way. His family shouldn't be looking for money they should have spent money taking care of their son

I have never seen such a bunch of mean spirited comments about this tragic mentally ill person who stole a candy bar. I never saw this mean spirit when I lived in VA....

Blacks will never stop blaming other people for problems that arise when they break the law. While those with "white guilt" on their hands will keep enabling them. Why don't you go ahead and tell us what you did to get that guilt? Get it off your chest.

So?

another black white issue rev all will be there but why he not in Texas where a black gut shot a cop in cold blood

So?

Can't believe they wasted so many tax dollars keeping him in jail for that. They need to send a bill to his family for his room and board. It isn't the jail or taxpayers fault that he never saw this result when he went a-stealing. Next time don't steal things, no matter what the color of your skin is. White property matters.

F you black lives matter folks and other racist filth in this nation


Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman: ...said that the "dangerous rhetoric" against law enforcement has "gotten out of control." He also said, "We've heard black lives matter, all lives matter. Well, cops' lives matter, too."


"It's time for the silent majority in this country to support law enforcement," added Harris County DA Devon Anderson, who joined Sheriff Hickman at Saturday's news conference.

America has become immune to all theis killing , the Wars ,Domestic , and the burning of live children with our Tax money. I guess more anti-depression medication .

Who gives a sh!t? Glad he's not a taxpayer burden anymore!

So he died from dehydration from not drinking/eating? They should have found a hospital bed for him out of the area or out of state then. He's just a kid and probably stole the candy bar because he was hungry and his house had no food to eat.

If the poor guy needed help why didn't the family get him the help he needed? These people EXPECTED someone else to do their job? What has happened to personal responsibility in America anymore? Have the Democrats TRAINED people that are government dependent that it's the governments responsibility to do everything for them?

congrats cops, your master Obama let s felons go, and you pull this? really..

COME ON !!!! As ALWAYS there has to BE a LOT MORE to this STORY that, AS USUAL AOL is LEAVING OUT !!! BTW---WHERE WERE THE PARENTS ????? Where was THIS $5.00 STORY MONTHS AGO ???? So NOW the parents show up !?!?!?!? OF COURSE !!!! FOX please give us the TRUE STORY ON THIS !!!!~

if his family really care for their son, they would have been checking on him while he was in jail. they're only interested in making money off his death. it's the way these people think.

At most, for a $5 theft, he should have gotten 24 hours to teach him a lesson. Four months in jail over $5? What were they doing, holding him until a trial could be held which would cost thousands? This is crazy.

It's always somebody's fault other than their own.
