A San Diego deputy sheriff failed to conduct a mandatory safety check on an inmate who died from a drug overdose last year, an independent investigation has found.
Blake Edward Wilson died Jan. 26, 2020 at the San Diego Central Jail, 10 days after he was booked into custody. According to court records, Wilson struggled with drug addiction and was disbarred from practicing law a little more than a year before his death.
The county’s Citizens’ Law Enforcement Review Board, a volunteer oversight panel with a professional investigative staff, will consider misconduct allegations against the unidentified deputy at its Tuesday evening meeting.
