RANGERS INVESTIGATE DEATH OF INMATE IN CUSTODY OF SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT


 Special to El Rrun-Rrun

The death of inmate Lidia Grover, of Harlingen, who was booked April 27 for criminal trespassing and had a $500 bond will be investigated by the Texas Rangers 

She was found unresponsive in her cell at the Rucker-Carrizales Detention Center early today and transferred to Valley Regional Center where JP 2-1 Linda Salazar pronounced her dead and ordered an autopsy.

What makes this inmate death even seem even more unnecessary is that it happened when Sheriff Eric Garza had sent four of his jail administrators and captains out of town for a week for training even though the jails are short on staff and did not pass a state inspection for that very reason. The chief jailer and major were attending the conference in San Marcos and the jail commander and major were also out of town.

This "rookie mistake" might have led to lax supervision of inmates at the jails, some department staff assert.

And the woman had been there since April 27 until May 4 – a week – without making the $500 bond. Where was our vaunted pre-trial release program?

“They have made requests to the jail — they’re trying to get information from the jail to figure out exactly what happened, but they are clueless at this point,” said Eddie Lucio, a Brownsville attorney representing the Grover family. “The jail has not provided them with any information regarding the circumstances surrounding their mom’s death.”

Do you smell yet another lawsuit?

Hidalgo County celebrates $3.7M investment for North Main drainage project

Y aqui? Celebrate the crocked offer to built an arena at no expense to the voters who pay taxes. The problem here is the roads leading to the arena will be full of pot holes and if it rains it will flood. That is if you can get there cause it will be full of traffic lights and all be on on RED.
PINCHES MAMONES!!!

500 dollar bond? I thought you had to pay 10 percent of the bond to get out of jail? That is hard to believe because these low income people get plenty of money and free benefits from Joe Blow Biden. It's the start of the month for food stamps and that extra cash in their bank account. There's more to this story, why she was arrested? She looks wasted in the picture or drunk.

First off condolences to her family. Second of all she was found unresponsive, why would they transfer her to the furthest hospital? Isn't Valley Regional closer to the jail? Who's brilliant idea was that?

Wondering if you all know that the "Sheriff" is not opening the 2 captain positions, he wants to use that money to give his special clerks a raise, feel bad for Alvaro and Del Bosque all that sucking they are doing for nothing. In a way, I think is a good thing, imagine idiots like Servando getting promoted to Sgt! Godforbid

Fuck county corrupted. Everyone sucks in that administration. Fuck them all. Commissioners suck dick for not paying the jailers enough to want to take their job seriously. But yet get medical staff $6 raise. And all they do is sit on thier ass and make decisions on where the inmates go for medical reasons as in hospitals when even hospitals are sick of thier shit. Fuck that whole place 🖕🖕🖕🖕

The Sheriff is an idiot for having his “close” friends be part of his administration. Hey Eric, how do you think this information gets leaked? Do you actually think there is loyalty amongst your little group of wannabes? Silver tells everything to his “friends” who in turn leak everything out because his own friends don’t even like him. Imagine that, the clerks getting a raise at the cost of 2 Cpt positions! I guess fucking the Sheriff coming back from an SPI conference in the black suv pays off right Kleimer Carretero? And the other fat one Nerida Arredonda is the Sheriff’s DD so go figure. Too bad Del Bosque is gonna find reasons to justify the clerks getting raises meanwhile the Deputies AGAIN get fucked over. Hay Eric, it’s almost as if you want to fail and want the department as a whole to hate you… even more than we already do. And we get it, you don’t care, but when you’ll need our votes it’ll be too late.

No control of sick inmates. LUCIO AND REYNAS REIGN made the County pay millions on so many lawsuits for under qualified officers. Illnesses are uncontrollable facts of life. Let the Rangers do the job.
