27-year-old Cleveland County Detention Center inmate dies in cell
NORMAN, Okla. (KFOR) — The Cleveland County Sheriff's Office says a 27-year-old inmate at the Cleveland County Detention Center died in his cell on Friday morning.
According to the CCSO, Jacob Shane Dieball was declared dead in his bunk by medical staff at around 10:05 a.m. on Friday.
A preliminary review of the incident reportedly shows Dieball was lying in his bunk, breathing and moving his head and hands at around 9:21 a.m., and that no issues were detected during in-person sight checks around that same time.
Detention staff was then alerted about a welfare check for Dieball at 9:35 a.m. The CCSO did not specify who requested the welfare check.
After a detention officer entered the cell and found Dieball unresponsive but still breathing, detention staff administered Narcan, and Turnkey Medical staff began lifesaving measures. He was pronounced dead shortly after EMSTAT arrived on the scene.
Dieball's cause of death will be determined by the Medical Examiner's office. The CCSO has requested OSBI's support in the investigation into Dieball's death.
The CCSO says Dieball was booked into the CCDC on October 24, 2024, after being arrested by Norman Police. He was held on several charges, including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, six counts of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, and aggravated trafficking of illegal drugs.
