Officials ID Nebraska inmate who died in jail  By: AP By: AP
Beatrice, NE (AP) - Authorities have identified an inmate who
died in southeast Nebraska's Gage County Detention Center as the
suspect in a police standoff earlier in the week. Deputy Gage
County Attorney Amanda Spracklen-Hogan tells Beatrice radio
station KWBE reports that 36-year-old Adam Wolken was found
unresponsive in his jail cell just before 4 a.m. Saturday and
could not be revived. She did not say how he died.  Wolken was
arrested early Thursday following a standoff with police at a
Beatrice motel. Police say Wolken held two women and a 20-month
old child hostage before surrendering.  The Nebraska State
Patrol will investigate Wolken's death. State law requires a
grand jury investigation any time a person died in state custody
or during in the process of being detained..   powered by Disqus
