Cox, along with officers Kurtovic, Vertus and Lane, were escorting Faggart to a dorm in the jail with one-piece restraints behind his back when JSO said Faggart started \u201cdisplaying aggressive, erratic and disruptive behavior by thrashing his body, clenching his fist and pushing &amp; pulling actions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Sgt. Cox determined that Faggart was a threat to himself and others, JSO said, so he was put into a restraint safety chair. JSO said Faggart was seated in the restraint safety chair with the lumbar support removed, but due to his increasingly aggressive behavior \u2014 kicking his feet and thrashing his body \u2014 the chair was unable to be secured.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">What happened next is redacted in the report, but one minute later, Officer Maygoo arrived to help secure Faggart in the chair around 7:05 a.m. Sgt. Cox did something else, which is redacted and unclear in the report, and Faggart started to calm down, JSO said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Then another officer arrived with a \u201cspit-mask\u201d and put it on Faggart, and he was secured in the chair \u2014 with the one-piece restraints still on \u2014 by Officer Clifton, Officer Kurtovic and Officer Vertus under the direct supervision of Sgt. Cox.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Around 7:12 a.m., Lieutenant S. Wesley arrived, and 12 minutes later, Mental Health Director Webb showed up and began evaluating Faggart. JSO said Faggart then told Webb that he \u201cdid fentanyl\u201d and she deemed him fit to be placed in self-harm housing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">\u201cLPN Morris\u201d medically evaluated Faggart around 7:28 a.m., and found he was \u201cmedically fit\u201d to remain in the restraint safety chair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">At approximately 8:39 a.m., Webb and a registered nurse began evaluating Faggart. Shortly after, Sgt. Cox and other officers arrived. That\u2019s when Officer Pennamon, who wrote the incident report, removed the spit-mask off Faggart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">At approximately 8:50 a.m., Sgt. Cox decided Faggart should be removed from the restraint safety chair, JSO said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Once Faggart was removed from the chair, he was escorted to Cell #25 by seven officers under the supervision of Sgt. Cox, according to the incident report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">It is unclear what happened immediately after Faggart was escorted to the cell because this section of the report is redacted. However, the report indicates that Sgt. Cox deemed it necessary for Faggart to be placed in the restraint safety chair again \u201cfor the safety of himself, others &amp; property.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Then it appears something happened around 8:55 a.m., as Pennamon was trying to escort Faggart out of the cell. This portion of the incident was redacted as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Faggart was then placed back in the restraint safety chair by Pennamon, Kurtovic, Sullivan, Bullard, Thomas, McKinnis, Collins and Maygoo, under the supervision of Sgt. Cox, who also placed a spit-mask on Faggart, JSO said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The redacted report does not include the details of what happened next involving Sullivan, around 8:57 a.m., when Faggart was placed in the chair. However, the report does state that around 9 a.m., Lieutenant Wesley arrived with medical staff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">At approximately 9:05 a.m., the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department arrived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Five minutes later, JFRD placed Faggart on a stretecher, and JFRD installed the Lucas Compression Device to \u201ccontinue delivering chest compressions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Faggart was then transported to UF Health Shands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The report also indicates no additional charges were placed against Faggart, who was originally booked into jail on simple domestic assault and criminal mischief charges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Pennamon, who wrote the incident report, said he injured his right ankle during the incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Pennamon also noted at the top of the report that Faggart was witnessed having what was described as a suspected seizure, though it\u2019s unclear when it happened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Sheriff T.K.
