Scott s family set up a Facebook group and are collecting contact information from people who d like to stay informed about the case and their plans.
After watching video of how he died, Marvin Scott III s family urged authorities to arrest the officers involved on Wednesday. The 26-year-old Black man died in the custody of the Collin County Sheriff’s Office last month.
Scott, who suffered from schizophrenia, was arrested on March 14 by Allen police for possession of a small amount of marijuana. After arriving at the jail, he was forcibly strapped down to a bed, hooded and pepper-sprayed.
The family’s attorney, Lee Merritt, described the five-hour video as “mentally draining” during a press conference and said it didn’t take a mental health expert to see Scott needed support.

For the past four weeks, a group of up to 40 protesters has gathered outside the Collin County Jail nearly every night around 9 p.m. They hang signs, draw on the sidewalk with chalk and decorate the chain link fence, celebrating the life of Marvin Scott III, who died while in the custody of jail staff in March.
Consistently, their memorials have been taken down by county staff. But that doesn’t deter his sister, LaChay Batts, from returning every day with other community members outside the jail in McKinney.
