The Alexandria Police Department and Office of the Chief Medical Examiner are investigating the death of an Alexandria Sheriff’s Office inmate yesterday (Monday).
Ricardo Roberts, 60, died shortly after 5 a.m. yesterday “while being treated for chronic medical issues” at Inova Fairfax Hospital, the Sheriff’s Office announced yesterday. The investigations are required by law following an in-custody death.
Roberts had been in custody since Dec. 24. He had received care at Inova Alexandria Hospital since Dec. 31, before being transferred to Inova Fairfax early Monday morning.
He was being held without bond “on multiple counts of violation of a protective order,” according to the office.
The Sheriff’s Office said it “has made all required notifications and, consistent with our policy, will conduct an internal review to ensure our policies and procedures were followed.”
