Raul M. Gallegos-Reyes On Thursday August 17, 2006 at approximately 4:15 A.M., a 34 year old male inmate, being held in the intake housing area of the Sheriff's Office Detentions Facility, began screaming and banging on his cell door. Deputies responded to check on the welfare of the inmate. While deputies were attempting to determine the cause of the inmate's agitation, the inmate refused to comply with directions given by deputies and physically attacked the deputies. During the struggle with the inmate, one deputy deployed an issued electro-muscular disruption device (tazer), in an effort to stop the assaultive behavior. Once the struggle was resolved, the inmate was placed in a restraint chair and removed from the jail population. While being examined by medical staff, the inmate became unconscious and was not responsive. Deputies gave CPR until the inmate was transported to the Parker Adventist Hospital. The inmate was pronounced dead by hospital staff. The cause of death is currently under investigation. The inmate is identified as: Raul M. Gallegos-Reyes DOB 08-07-1972 AGE 34 521 Elkhart Street Aurora, Colorado
