During his 10:30 p.m. arrest for suspected possession of a controlled substance, Charles Kitchens reportedly swallowed a bag of what Jackson County deputies and Edna PD officers believed was cocaine. They took Kitchens to Jackson County Hospital for medical evaluation before booking and jailing him. Kitchens died at 1:40 a.m. the next day. The Texas Ranger Division investigated. The Texas Custodial Deaths Report identifies only the Jackson County Sheriff's Office as the arresting agency.
