Actually, he probably was brought in, took drugs, blacked out, then the guards didn't see him when checking the cell, and there ya go...
Whole thing still reeks of a planned civil suit, but he'll win anyhow via settlement. Good plan. uhhhh what. He wasn't hiding in like a mansion and it isnt his job to tell everyone he's there.
Someone would have come if he yelled. His story plainly stinks imo.
But given what we know from "his side of the story," he'll probably get a settlement anyway because, like you said, you can't just leave people in the cell. Doesn't change the point that he's probably lying about a lot in his statement though.

OK first off he didn't say that he had eaten meth, the hospital found it in his system. Second of all, even if it was his plan to "hide quietly in a cell" the DEA should know he's there. He very easily could have died from this and deserves a lot of money.

It doesn't change the fact forgetting someone that's stuck in a tiny cell is always the fault of the authorities. What he did or didn't do inside it becomes irrelevant.

that would piss me off for sure.
on a relevant note, i think this kid is going to be suing the pants off the state fairly soon. 10 mil at least, is my guess. i would definitely be willing to drink my own urine for 5 days for that kind of return. Are you kidding? Drinking nothing but your own urine, stuck in a bathroom sized cell, handcuffed. forced to literally eat meth off the floor? Then nearly experience serious kidney failure and die. Also this should require a full review of the incident, and a huge amount of compensation to be awarded.
I think im just relieved that this is ALL that happened. Worse things happen in prison constantly. He could've been gang raped and shanked, for instance. Instead he gets a cool icebreaker to tell at parties and an even cooler settlement deal. Justice is served; god bless America. Theres bound to be hiccips in any system, some are real tragedies but this is more of a close call.
lThis thread isnt really news.

According to this source, the person wasn't even supposed to be detained. Apparently they let him go and even offered him a ride home. Somehow, he ended up in that cell, where he almost died of dehydration. Regardless of how drugged this kid might have been/ how illegal the stuff he actually did, nearly dying in a cell is not justified by any means.
Although russian rifles and thousands of rounds 0.o. Interesting lol.

well hes going to be a millionare lol
|
I just want the gaping hole between
"offered ride to go home"
then
"ends up in jail cell"
to be explained.

He will be millionaire in no time.

NBC peice:
After days of being ignored, Chong said he tried to take his own life by breaking the glass from his spectacles with his teeth and then carving “Sorry mom,” on his wrists. He said nurses also found pieces of glass in his throat, which led him to believe he ingested the pieces purposefully.

Legally you're right.
But from a moral standpoint, it seems like he's just trying to bilk the State for money. That's taxpayer money btw. Everything about his take on the situation sounds like a fabrication. They ignored his cries? Of course he was innocent in the raid. He ate meth off of the floor?. He was "insane" on the third day? He tried to cut himself because he was hopeless? He's not going to go back to school because of his new "life perspective?" (all from the NBC story posted above)
I'm not so naive to be ignorant of the value of sensational media publicity prior to suing the State, but I still think he fished for the civil suit. If you've ever seen a detention cell, you can make a lot of noise by banging on the door. My guess is he hid + self-inflicted injuries. I might be wrong, but it takes more than a story like that to persuade me.
Officers might get an unreasonably bad rep over the internet, but you'll be hard pressed to actually find one that will ignore someone in a holding cell for 5 days. But like I said before, good fishing. The guy is totally going to bilk the State for grievances he could have reasonably prevented.

This may be the fact that I'm only replying based on the TL;DR, but what? He ate meth? He saw meth crystals lying about and was all, "I'm hungry" and just swallowed that shit? What was he thinking!? I'm going to die anyways? Why wouldnt you if no one was giving you food? He didn't exactly have a ham sandwich in his pocket.
I'm going to die of thirst? Fuck yeah, let me eat something to speed up the process, its not like I can eat my clothes if 2 weeks pass.

Haha this guy goes to my school

Hell, I would stay in a cell for 5 days without food and water but potentially getting 1+ mil dollars in return.
I would even do it for 100k.

Yeah i dont know what some people are thinking here. If you get detained and then you are treated horribly and in inhumane ways how should this be ok? Very confused because his rights were clearly violated and they definitely didn't follow procedure here.
Pretty crazy that the DEA broke into an apartment. I agree the whole story seems a little fishy. Must have been reported drug dealers or some shit.

AWww dude, I was waiting for a Bear Grylls joke. Anyways, I'd eat meth if I was gunna die, I'd even do it to speed up the process of dying, screw sitting in a cell for 5 days just waiting to die.. I would do it for money though  PROBS
