VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Virginia State Police are investigating after authorities say a trespassing suspect had a medical episode after he was processed at the Virginia Beach Correctional Center (VBCC) on Tuesday.
In a release on Sunday, Virginia Beach Sheriff Rocky Holcomb said 34-year-old Rolin Hill had been hospitalized following a medical episode at the jail.
Hill had been arrested on trespassing, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct charges Tuesday. Virginia Beach police brought him to the jail at around 7:15 p.m. and he was subsequently denied bond, leading him to be booked in (VBCC) at around 8:20 p.m.
Due to Hill's allegedly "uncooperative and combative" behavior, Sheriff Holcomb said he needed to be restrained for "his safety and the safety of the arresting officers and jail deputies."
Hill suffered a medical emergency at around 8:45 p.m., prompting "immediate aid" from medical staff and deputies at the jail. He was then brought to Sentara Princess Anne Hospital for further treatment.
As of Sunday, Sheriff Holcomb says Hill is still in the hospital. His condition was not released, however.
"We are investigating the incident with Rolin Hill and are committed to a full and comprehensive investigation, which is why I have asked Virginia State Police to conduct an independent review," Sheriff Holcomb said in a prepared statement. "I cannot comment on the specific facts of the case at this time due to the need to preserve the integrity of the investigation. As always, I am committed to full transparency with the community and will be open with the findings when the investigation is complete."
VBSO said the 34-year-old was released from their custody on Wednesday — the day after the incident.
No other information was immediately released.
