Collin County Jailers Fired In Wake Of Inmate’s Death

Authorities fired seven Collin County detention officers after the in-custody death of Marvin Scott III. They had arrested Scott for possession of fewer than two ounces of marijuana in March. While in Collin County Jail, several officers tried to restrain him after he reportedly acted strangely in the jail booking area. Officers attempted to secure him to a restraint bed and, during the process, used OC spray once and also had a spit mask on his face.
