Bodycam Footage Shows Inmate Who Died After Arrest
Authorities released bodycam video capturing police interactions with an inmate who died hours after he was arrested. Marconia Kessee, 35, was arrested by the Norman Police Department for trespassing at Norman Regional Hospital. His uncle Michael Washington told us Kessee went in for a headache. “I believe in my heart that he refused to leave because he wasn’t treated and he felt that he needed more medication because his headache was still hurting him,” “He was given a death sentence, bottom line.” A spokesperson for the hospital confirmed Kessee was treated and discharged. Sheriff Todd Gibson said there was a disagreement over narcotics before he was arrested by police and taken to jail. He was moved to a padded cell after he tried to hurt himself. He was later found unresponsive and rushed to the hospital where he died.
