A prisoner has died after he reportedly fell from a second-story window of the Tom Green County, Tex. Justice Center and law officers are investigating why the injuries occurred. Terry Park Hodges was pronounced dead at the Shannon Medical Center emergency room last week in what was called a "questionable death," according to the Sheriff's Department. Hodges, 49, either fell or jumped out of a second-floor jail window, a member of Hodges' family told the San Angelo Standard-Times. However, Tom Green County Sheriff Joe Hunt would neither confirm nor deny additional details of the death. Authorities said Hodges was being held at the jail on arson and criminal mischief charges in connection with an Aug. 3 fire at his former business, Park Place Furniture. |
