A Galveston County deputy on Nov. 29 pushed Ariel Ledesma to the floor of a cell at the county jail. The push caused Ledesma to hit his head, an injury that landed him in a local hospital.
Ledesma died in the hospital on Dec. 14. The deputy, Sgt. Jonathan Wuneburger, has been on leave since Ledesma was hospitalized, and the Texas Rangers are investigating whether the deputyâs use of force amounted to a criminal act, officials said.
A custodial death reported obtained by The Daily News on Wednesday provided the first limited description of the incident that led to Ledesmaâs injury and death. The report asserts Ledesma was attempting to escape when he was pushed.
The rules are the rules, but Galveston County Judge Mark Henry isnât happy about them.
The state of Texas on Tuesday tightened restrictions on businesses and hospitals in Galveston County and the surrounding region because the stateâs data show an increase in the number of people being treated in local hospitals for COVID-19. For seven days in a row, more than 15 percent of hospital capacity in Galveston and eight nearby counties were being used by COVID-19 patients, according to the state.
Under orders issued by Gov. Greg Abbott in October, the rate triggered a return to COVID-related restrictions that were in place for most the summer.
