On Tuesday, September 06, 2016 at 0007 hours, Code purple was called over the intercom to assist staff in Pod 9, room 13 for a combative patient in the custody of Richland County.
Upon my arrival I, Sgt Perdue was the first Security Officer to arrive to room 13, there were four staff members holding Mr. Starkey down on the bed with hand cuff on. He was hand cuff in the front trying to grab staff to prevent the nurse from giving him medication. The patient was combative, irate, and refuses to cooperate with the staffs who were trying to provide him medical care.
Miranda Geddings, RN stated “the patient became combative when I was going to administrate medication”. Mr. Starkey stated “I do not want any medication” and started kicking staff
