An Ohio woman died while in police custody in the Cleveland Heights jail early on Sunday morning. Ralkina Jones, 37, was picked up after a domestic dispute in a parking lot with her ex-husband on Friday night.
According to the incident report, Jones drove to a local business and smashed the driver’s side window a Ford Expedition belonging to her ex-husband, Brandon Jones. She also attempted to smash the windshield of the vehicle. Police say that when her ex-husband came outside to the parking lot to try to stop her, Jones scratched his face and hit him with a tire iron, causing a 2- to 3-inch cut. Family members toldlocal media that the incident occurred at her ex-husband’s place of work.
After her ex-husband got the tire iron away from Jones and walked away from the fight with a friend, Jones got back in her car and tried to run over the two men. Jones’s 12-year-old daughter, Kayla, was in the backseat of her car during the incident.
An independent witness at the scene corroborated Brandon Jones’s version of the dispute. However, according to the incident report, Jones told police that he didn’t want to press charges against his ex-wife.
Ralkina Jones was arrested and charged with felonious assault, domestic violence, and child endangerment. She was then taken to Cleveland Heights jail.
According to a press release issued by the Cleveland Heights police on Monday, Jones was placed in a cell at approximately 10:25 p.m. on Friday night. She had blood on her but no serious injuries, according to police.
At around 7:15 p.m. the next day, Jones appeared “lethargic” in her cell and was transported to the Cleveland hospital, HealthSpan. Four hours later, she was transported back to the jail.
After this the police information starts to become unclear. According to the police, a little over an hour after she arrived back at the jail, the paramedics were called a second time for Jones for an unspecified reason. The police say the paramedics “determined her vitals to be normal” at that time and Jones was thereafter given routine checks throughout the night.
Jones died some time early Sunday morning. The police did not say how many times she was checked during the night or what time she died.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner completed Jones’s autopsy on Monday and it revealed no suspicious injuries. The exact cause of death is yet to be determined.
BuzzFeed News reached out to Cleveland Heights Police Chief Jeffrey Robertson to ask why Jones was held for over a day after her ex-husband declined to press charges, why the paramedics were called a second time for Jones, why she was not taken to the hospital, how many times she was checked during the night, and what time she died, but he has not yet responded.
Jones’s is the third high-profile death of an African-American woman while in police custody in two weeks. On July 13, 28-year-old Sandra Bland died while in custody in Texas, and then one day later 18-year-old Kindra Chapman died in Alabama. Both women allegedly hanged themselves in their cells, and their deaths have been ruled suicides by officials.
At this point in the primary process in 2008 there had been numerous debates. In this election cycle there have been 0. Contact Debbie Wasserman Schultz and demand more debates.

reblog if u were apart of the original superwholock fandom
In a video uploaded to YouTube by an account named AnonIntelGroup, which already has more than 1 million views, persons claiming to be affiliated with the enclave pointed to discrepancies in the official police story on Bland’s death. In the video description, the account owner makes demands action from every police chief in the country.
I am so disgusted and appalled right now. This young lady has posted a video of her abusing a cat. She is throwing a kitten against a wall. Each and every time it crawls away (using only its front legs because I am fairly certain it’s back legs are shattered and it is most likely paralyzed). https://twitter.com/weloverobdyrdek/status/625504543644651520 Here is the video if you need to see it for yourself. I threw up watching it so be warned. Please signal boost so police and authorities take away her animals and hopefully find this cat unless it is too late. She lives in Kansas.

I made a post about a week ago about 4 cats who need a home, one of the cats is staying with her original owner. So these three boys are left.
NOTE: the cat in the first photo in the cat carrier has a forever home
First Photo:
Chub Chub is a long haired orange/white cat. He has a lot of mats that I couldn’t brush out.
He’s very vocal and very friendly
He doesn’t like to use the litterbox though, he also lives with 5 other cats right now and they all share one litter box. I don’t know if this is a medical issue or a temperment issue.
I’ve had very limited contact with him along with all the other cats.
2nd Photo:
This is Henry, he’s very shy and likes to hide under furniture. He has no problems using a litterbox and is very sweet but extremly timid.
3rd Photo:
Oreo, he’s one of the Maine Coons I mentioned, he has long dark fur and is almost completly matted. I’ve told my friend he needs to see a professional groomer to remove the mats. Like Chub Chub, he doesn’t like to use the litterbox.
Note: Chub Chub and Oreo do use a litterbox but only if it’s completely clean
If you are someone you know lives in Richmon Virginia or the surrounding areas please ask around so these cats can have the happy home they deserve.
