The 63-year-old woman had been at the Las Colinas Detention Facility since Feb. 13, when she was arrested and booked on a vandalism charge, deputies say.
SANTEE, Calif. — The San Diego County Sheriff's Department says an inmate at the Las Colinas Detention Facility died in its custody Wednesday afternoon.
"We extend our sympathies to the Adamson family and those affected by this death. A Sheriff's Family Liaison Officer will support the family as they deal with the loss of a loved one," the department's press release says. On Wednesday, a sheriff's department lieutenant noticed during a well-being check that Adamson had poor hygiene and wasn't taking care of her self. Deputies gave her the chance to shower as her housing area was cleaned, and a doctor helped them get her to the shower area via a wheelchair.
The sheriff's homicide unit responded and will investigate the inmate death thoroughly, the department says.
