Case Report: The Lower Buckeye Jail

On 09/12/2015, at approximately 1835 hours, at the Lower Buckeye Jail, located at 3250 West Lower Buckeye Road, Phoenix AZ 85009, I was working as the level 1 escort officer when Inmate Clark, Lorenzo MCSO Booking #T208345 came out of Tower 12 housing unit B pod requesting medical.

Inmate Clark said that while he was getting out of his top bunk in cell 24 he slipped and fell. As he was falling he used his right arm to grab onto his bunk causing his shoulder to come out of socket.

Inmate Clark was taken to the level 1 medical clinic at 1836 hours, where he was evaluated by RN Stacey Perkins RG971.

At approximately 1840 hours I was instructed to take Inmate Clark the LBJ main clinic by RN Stacy. Inmate Clark was ordered out to Maricopa

Integrated Health Systems (MIHS) to rule out possible heart attack/possible dislocated shoulder per P.A. Donna Bunkers CS107.

I asked Inmate Clark if his injuries were the result of any criminal action committed against him while he was in MCSO custody. He replied, “No, I told you I slipped when getting off of my bunk and hurt my arm.”

Genetec video was reviewed for Tower 12 B pod, but due to the angle of the cell in relation to the video camera nothing could be seen in the cell.

At approximately 2010 hours, I and Officer Adams departed Lower Buckeye Jail via Southwest Ambulance #416 to MIHS.

We arrived at MIHS at approximately 2029 hours.

MERIT Officers Deddo B0708 and Smith B0240 took over custody of Inmate Clark approximately 2230 hours.

Officer Adams and I departed the MHIS at 2250 hours via MCSO transportation and arrived back at Lower buckeye Jail at 2310 hours.

No pictures were taken due to visible injuries on Inmate Clark.

No further information at this time.
