A 17-year-old boy died after being restrained by law enforcement officers at a juvenile facility in Wichita.
Sedgwick County Sheriff’s corporal Brian White said the teen was arrested Friday, September 24th on three counts of battery of a law enforcement officer, and he was taken to the Juvenile Intake and Assessment Center at 700 South Hydraulic. White said the teen assaulted staff at the Assessment Center, and he was put into restraints. He then became unresponsive and an Emergency Medical Services crew was called to the center. He was taken to a hospital and admitted, and he died on Sunday.
White said the Kansas Bureau of Investigation will be looking into the boy’s death, with assistance from sheriff’s investigators.
