Irving jail staff knew diabetic inmate had no insulin before death
Irving jail staff knew that a diabetic inmate needed insulin hours, if not days, before she collapsed in her cell and died.
Two jail supervisors have been placed on paid leave while the city and district attorney’s office investigate the Nov. 3 death of Sarah Tibbetts, 37.
The medical examiner has not yet ruled on the cause of death. Nor have police responded to accounts from family and jail sources that Tibbetts, who took insulin daily to survive, did not get any during nearly 42 hours in custody.
A grocery store baker before her life began to fall apart several years ago, Tibbetts often lived out of motel rooms and recently lost her 12-year-old son to child services, according to her family.

Just, you know, don't do anything "wrong" and you won't get arrested.
You know, like don't drive while black, or get hit by a car being driven by a drunk billionaire.
