Damning new information has emerged about the Chesterfield County Detention Center in South Carolina where mentally ill White inmate who was in there on charges of impersonating a police officer, while several questions remain unanswered.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, a South Carolina inmate who told his family he was being intentionally starved inside the Chesterfield County Detention Center has now been ruled a homicide victim, nearly two months after jailers found his dehydrated, emaciated body on the floor of a feces-covered cell with the water shut off.
Gary Donald “Bubba” Blair, 43, was found lifeless on the floor of his E Pod cell at the Chesterfield County Detention Center on July 24. The cell was covered in inches-deep feces.
Blair also had no mattress and was completely naked. Even worse, he went from nearly 300 pounds at booking to 185 pounds at autopsy.
Blair’s official cause of death was revealed to be “profound dehydration…due to deprivation of water.” Pneumonia, a pressure ulcer on his heel consistent with lying on the floor for days, evidence he ingested toilet water, and profound weight loss were named as contributing factors.
At the center of it all was Jail Administrator Troy Ellerbe, who was accused of racist treatment toward White inmates.
Ellerbe had led the facility since early 2023 before Sheriff Cambo Streater fired him five days after Blair’s body was found. No explanation was given why.
