Allegations:
Brown was arrested and transported to a police station, where he told Officers Salazar, Davy and Cabral that he hadn't had his psychotropic medication and was experiencing a psychotic episode. He told the officers the "voice of Satan" was instructing him to kill himself and anyone who tried to stop him. The officers were unconvinced and denied his request to see a psychiatrist. After being transferred to another lockup, Brown shared the same information with Detectives Herhold and Casey, who insisted that Brown "stop faking." After questioning him, Casey brought Brown a can of soda and left him alone in the interview room for about 45 minutes “to think and do the right thing." In that time, Brown broke the soda can and cut his wrists. He was taken to the emergency room for treatment, where officers told the doctor that Brown had accidentally cut his wrists while playing with a soda can. Brown asked the doctor if he could see a psychiatrist so that he could get medication, but the doctor denied his request. He was released back into the custody of police under suicide watch.
