Two correctional officers from Atlantic County have been charged with manslaughter after 41-year-old man died after vomiting up blood while in custody at the county's correctional facility.
The grand jury also returned charges against five Hamilton Township Police officers for their conduct in dropping off Terruso at the jail, officials said, instead of transporting him to a hospital for treatment after medical and behavioral symptoms were observed during his arrest.
The grand jury concluded its deliberations on Monday, and voted that criminal charges against the officers were warranted, Platkin's office said.According to officials, Terruso was detained by officers from the Hamilton Township Police Department shortly after 1 p.m. on September 15, 2019, after police responded to a report of an individual trespassing at a residence.
Platkin's office said that while Terruso was handcuffed in a police vehicle, officers concluded he was exhibiting signs of narcotic use, paranoia and hallucinations, for which he needed a medical and mental health evaluation, but they instead took Terruso to jail and hid information about his mental state from jail staff.
