Johnnie Locklear
Johnnie Locklear, 48, lived next door to a friend's family in Austin, Indiana, and helped him with contracting work; the friend said he trusted him and did not think he would hurt anyone. Locklear was held at the Scott County Jail, and early on a Saturday morning, June 14, 2014, he was taken to Scott County Hospital after going into cardiac distress and died a couple of hours later. An autopsy could not determine a cause of death, and the Indiana State Police are investigating, with toxicology results still pending. The Scott County Sheriff's Office has described his time at the jail, while his family and friends want to know what happened.
Cause of death, as reported: Cause not yet determined (disputed). The sheriff's office and Indiana State Police report cardiac distress with the cause still pending, while his family and friends want to know what happened and the autopsy could not determine a cause.
Reported by: Scott County Sheriff Don McClain (the agency that held him); Indiana State Police (outside investigators); family and friends.
