CLEVELAND, Ohio – For more than two hours, Joseph Arquillo lay motionless on a mat inside the Cuyahoga County Jail before anyone bothered to check on him, jail security video released to cleveland.com shows.

A now-indicted officer at one point walked up, kicked his mat and walked away, leaving the 47-year-old inmate to sit another hour until another inmate alerted a different officer. By the time he ended up at MetroHealth, he was dead.

Cuyahoga County released video Friday from its downtown jail that shows Arquillo’s slow death that is at the center of criminal charges against the former warden and the corrections officer accused of ignoring him while he died.

Cleveland.com spent months battling with the county over the video. The county initially denied the video’s release, and cleveland.com filed a complaint with the Ohio Court of Claims on grounds that videos of various instances of suspected wrongdoing at the jail are in the public’s interest. The county relented and released the video Friday amid ongoing mediation ordered by the Ohio Court of Claims.

It was the second video released by the county related to criminal charges against jail employees.

The most recent video shows the circumstances surrounding Arquillo’s Aug. 27 death.

A grand jury indicted former warden Eric Ivey in April accusing him of ordering corrections officers to turn off their body cameras as the investigated how Arquillo died.

Ivey told investigators that he ordered the officers to shutter their body cameras to protect Arquillo’s medical privacy “when his true purpose was to prevent the evidence from being used in an official proceeding,” according to prosecutors.

Also charged in the case is corrections officer Martin Devring, the officer accused of ignoring Arquillo and falsifying documents that said he made his required checks on inmates. The video shows Devring sometimes walking a few feet, then back to his seat and marking down that he checked on all the inmates.

The video shows a routine morning in the pod where Arquillo died. It also illustrates some of the spartan conditions in which Cuyahoga County Jail inmates are required to live. Napping inmates lie on thin mats as Arquillo lay on the floor slumped against the bottom rung of a built-in shelf.

Arquillo, who had been booked into the jail about 3 a.m. that day on a probation violation, laid down next to his mat about 9 a.m. and for about 45 minutes.

He and Devring had a short interaction about 9:15 a.m.

An officer escorted Arquillo to the medical unit. He returned to his mat about 15 minutes later and told Devring he didn’t want to eat breakfast, according to documents previous obtained by cleveland.com.

After returning to his mattress about 10:15 a.m., he bent his knees several times, bobbing up and down for about eight minutes as he grabbed at his head. He hunched over with his head pointed toward the ground and made a slow crawl toward the ground where he curled up next to the mattress.

He was there for an hour and 10 minutes before Devring walked up, kicked his mat and walked away.

Devring in interviews with investigators said he asked Arquillo if he wanted to eat lunch. He said Arquillo responded by mumbling and saying he wasn’t hungry and just wanted to sleep, documents say.

In the video, Arquillo doesn’t appear to move when Devring walks up. There also doesn’t appear to be any interaction between the two.

An inmate about 12:50 p.m. finally noticed the awkward position in which Arquillo was lying and called over another inmate. The inmates summoned a corrections officer who filled in for Devring during his break.

That officer is seen on the video calling for a medical team. The guard gave Arquillo CPR until other officers and medical staff arrived. An ambulance took him to MetroHealth.

He didn’t survive.

Ivey can be seen on the video walking into the jail about 1:10 p.m.. He talked with several officers during the 20 minutes he remained in the pod. He stayed after paramedics wheeled Arquillo out on a gurney, making calls and looking through documents before leaving about 1:30 p.m.

Devring, 60, was charged in February with tampering with evidence, dereliction of duty and interfering with civil rights. He was fired Dec. 4 for his actions related to the death.

The county medical examiner ruled that Arquillo died with heroin, fentanyl, cocaine and Valium in his system.

His was one of seven deaths in 2018 inside the troubled county jail the U.S. Marshalls Service deemed “inhuman” in an inspection that took place months after the first inmate died in June of last year. Another inmate died this year.

Ivey and eight jail officers have been indicted in the corruption investigation that began as an inquiry into the county’s IT department. That investigation has since pivoted to include suspected wrongdoing at the jail.

A total of 12 people are currently indicted, and federal authorities are investigating the jail for possible civil-rights violations. Ivey’s former boss, jail director Ken Mills, was also indicted on accusations that he lied to investigators and Cuyahoga County Council about his role in blocking the hiring of nurses at the jail.

A federal grand jury issued a subpoena in December asking for records of the first seven inmate deaths, including Arquillo. They also sought sweeping documents of inmate abuse by officers and records of inmates who received no or poor medical care in the jail.
