A New Jersey man who died in custody this week pleaded for water and coughed up blood as staff at a county jail laughed and joked, another inmate says.
Terruso was arrested on Sunday afternoon on a warrant and held in the county jail in Mays Landing, about 17 miles north of Atlantic City, the attorney general's office said. The jail told NBC News that the warrant was for failing to appear in court on a family matter.Alan Wright says he was also an inmate at the jail at the time and that he has been friends with Terruso for 16 years.
Wright said Terruso was pleading for water, stating he had swallowed something and that he then began dry-heaving uncontrollably.Wright said that staff stood outside of Terruso's cell laughing and that they asked if Terruso acted like that on the street. Wright said he told them no. "At that point, he was just not complying to staff and the sergeant ordered them to hog-tie him," Wright said."He just wanted help," Wright said."Medical said he was faking."
