Lieutenant John Hallowell suffered a fatal heart attack while struggling with a prisoner inside the 28th Police Station.
A bicycle officer had arrested a man for reckless driving and drunkenness. He was booking the man when he became uncooperative while being searched. A struggle ensued and Lieutenant Hallowell assisted in subduing the subject. After the subject was detained Lieutenant Hallowell complained of not feeling well. He suffered a fatal heart attack inside the police station 30 minutes after the incident.
A coroner's jury ruled Lieutenant Hallowell's cause of death as overexertion due to heart disease and exonerated the subject from all blame and released.
Lieutenant Hallowell is survived by his wife and children.
