Two police officers arrested McMullan for an alleged incident of criminal trespass and took him to a police station. McMullan did not resist arrest, and he was unarmed and in good physical condition. At the station, McMullan was placed in a cell by himself. While in custody, McMullan suffered cuts and bruises to his head, neck, face, legs, back and shoulders. McMullan became seriously ill and repeatedly requested medical treatment from several police officers and detention aides. They failed to provide medical care, and, the day after his arrest, McMullan died.
