Case Closed, Waste of taxpayer money.

We have the Texas DPS, Texas Rangers, FBI and local police all now spending money on someone who comes out in public and says she is depressed.

I am requesting the thread to be closed.

You do realize it's still an open investigation. Not to mention, the arrest itself is being looked at as not proper procedure:

Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw said Encinia has been taken off the street and has been assigned administrative duties pending the outcome of an investigation.

"We have certain procedures in place, and he did not comply with those procedures," McCraw said. "One of the many procedures is letting the individual know in terms of what actions are going to be taken."

You have to do better than that Mr. Mason, I'm called the Dark Knight for a reason.

From what I have presented this and I am sure other things will come to light that she was arrested, got depressed in jail and hung herself.

Putting a person on admin. duties is standard operating procedure for this.

Procedure are steps to follows, this does not mean the officer broke any laws.

I see this whole thing petering out in few days after the autopsy reports are released to the public

I celebrate killers, thugs, rapist, terrorist, murders having their life ended.

A depressed person hanging herself is bad news, I just wish her family or friends would of bailed her out of jail.....

I really don't think they knew.

Such stupidity didn't deserve arrest.

Again and again...

(stupid victim) + (ego damaged mad cop) = bad consequence.

This is really sad...and it's happening way too often.

Well looks like she tried to off her self earlier this year.

It's now time to close this thread, I hope they charge the family for all the expense the state of Texas has had to spend on this.

Suburban Woman Found Dead in Jail Had Previous Encounters With Police Sandra Bland had at least 10 encounters herself with police in both Illinois and Texas in past years

Video has since surfaced purporting to show Bland’s arrest. In the video, an officer is seen kneeling on Bland. Bland can be heard in the video saying “you slammed my head in the ground.”

• Woman Found Dead in Jail Called Sister Before Death

Waller County District Attorney Elton Mathis said he will present the findings of an investigation by the Texas Rangers to a grand jury.

March of 2013 – Bland was stopped in Crestwood Township while driving a 2013 Cadillac DeVille and received two citations – for speeding 21-25 mph above the limit, and for operating an uninsured motor vehicle. She was fined $200, which – according to Cook County Court records – has not been paid.

Suburban Chicago Woman Found Hanged in Texas Jail Cell

Sandra Bland, 28, of suburban Villa Park, was a graduate of Willowbrook High School. She traveled last week from Chicago to Waller County Texas, where she was scheduled to begin a new job at a local college. On Monday, she was found dead. NBC Chicago's Phil Rogers investigates. (Published Wednesday, Jul 15, 2015)

November of 2013 – A report in a suburban newspaper says that Bland was arrested in Naperville; charged on a warrant, and transported to DuPage County Jail. The news report does not say what the warrant was for.

February of 2014 – Bland was stopped by Lombard Police and charged with operating an uninsured motor vehicle and driving with expired license plates. She was convicted in both charges and fined, but by May of 2014 court records show that she still owed $2,769.00 in fines, and the judge ordered that the Illinois Secretary of State be notified of her failure to pay.

March 3, 2014 – Naperville Police cited Bland for operating an uninsured motor vehicle. Court records show she was ordered to pay a fine, but was cited twice for failure to pay. In June of 2014 the court ordered that the Illinois Secretary of State be notified, and the docket lists a $1,313.00 balance still due.

March 8, 2014 – Approximately five days after her stop in Naperville, Bland was stopped by police in Lombard and charged with two counts of driving under the influence; speeding 15-20 mph over the speed limit; improper lane usage; disobeying a traffic control signal; failing to signal when changing lanes; driving on a suspended license, and operating an uninsured motor vehicle. The court found her guilty of one DUI charge, and all the other charges were dismissed. She received court supervision and was fined, and court records show that she still owes $3,132.00 in this case. (A spokesman with the Illinois Secretary of State’s office says Bland’s driver’s license was automatically suspended for six months – until November of 2014 – as a result of this DUI conviction.)

During that suspension – in May of 2014 – Naperville Police cited Bland for speeding 15-20 mph over the limit. According to the DuPage County court docket, Bland “fail[ed] to comply” in the case in June of 2014 and again in August of 2014, when the court ordered the Illinois Secretary of State to be notified. Records show a $45.00 balance due in this case, though a court spokesman says the actual amount owed is $165.00. The outcome in this case is not clear.

These notifications would have come up when Bland next tried to renew her license, according to the Illinois Secretary of State spokesman, and she would be required to pay all balances due.

NBC5 Investigates found five other police encounters involving Sandra Bland ranging from 2010 back to 2004:

May of 2010 – Bland was charged in two separate court cases in Harris County, Texas, for misdemeanor possession of a small amount of marijuana and driving while intoxicated. Court records show that the DWI charge was dismissed, but Bland pled guilty in September of 2010 to the pot charge.

April of 2009 – Bland was charged in Harris County with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, but the charge was dismissed.

June of 2005 – Bland was stopped by police in Oakbrook Terrace and charged with two traffic violations: Driving too fast for conditions or failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, and operating an uninsured motor vehicle. She pled guilty to both charges; was given supervision, and paid a fine.

June of 2004 – Bland was charged by Elmhurst police with one count of retail theft of less than $150. She pled guilty to that charge in August of 2004; paid a fine; and was sentenced to community service and supervision.

Nope. Never been or had to bail someone out. But details are still coming forward.
