7 Virginia sheriff deputies arrested in connection with inmate's death

Irvo Otieno, 28, was being transported to a maximum-security psychiatric facility for treatment when he became combative, police said.

He was arrested on March 3 and charged with assaulting law enforcement, disorderly conduct, and vandalism.

The state medical examiner is working to determine the cause and manner of death.

Jails have struggled to manage inmates with mental health issues in recent years.
