A death investigation is underway after a man being held at Fairfax County, Virginia’s Adult Detention Center died at a hospital.
Todd Matthew Gleason, 51, was arrested on June 17 for an outstanding warrant for petit larceny and failure to appear on a felony offense.
After his arrest, Fairfax County police said Gleason asked to be taken to the hospital for a preexisting injury. He was hospitalized and medically cleared for release that same day, before being taken to the detention center.
“There was no force used” during Gleason’s arrest, according to a news release.
Police said after Gleason complained about stomach and leg pain on the morning of July 3, an ambulance transported him to a hospital. A magistrate released Gleason from custody while hospitalized later that night.
Gleason died at the hospital the next morning. An autopsy is planned.
