Arrestee Pronounced Dead at A.P.C.
Kenneth W. Flannery, white
male, 35 years of age, was reported to be drunk and staggering in the
8100 block of Madison Ave., on Saturday evening, July 21, 2012.
IMPD was summoned at 7:35 p.m. and found Flannery at that location minutes
later. Flannery resisted arrest, an altercation ensued and he was
subdued. Flannery had a history of more than 20 arrests over the last 15
years for a variety of charges including glue sniffing, possession of
controlled substances, battery, resisting law enforcement, public
intoxication and disorderly conduct.
IMPD arrested Flannery for
Battery (D Felony), Resisting Law Enforcement (A Misdemeanor), and Public
Intoxication (A Misdemeanor), and he was placed in the Marion County
Sheriff’s transportation wagon. Upon arriving at the Arrestee
Processing Center, approximately 15 minutes later, Flannery was found to
be unconscious and not responsive. A.P.C. medical personnel, Indianapolis
EMS, and IFD promptly attempted to resuscitate Flannery, but they were
unsuccessful.
The decedent will be
undergoing an autopsy at the Coroner’s Office to determine the cause of
death. In addition to the Coroner’s Office, IMPD and the
Marion County Sheriff’s Office are conducting a tandem investigation into the
facts and circumstances of Mr. Flannery’s demise.
