Inmate dies in JSO custody at Jacksonville hospital after transfer from Clay County, police say

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 59-year-old man who was in the custody of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office on charges of violating his probation on an aggravated assault charge died Tuesday in the hospital, JSO said.

According to JSO, Adam Christopher Torrens was arrested May 17 in Clay County on a violation of probation warrant out of Duval County.

Torrens was being treated at a hospital in Clay County before he was taken into JSO custody.

When JSO Corrections Officers with the Fugitive Transportation Unit picked Torrens up on May 19, they took him directly to a local hospital in Jacksonville.

He died at the Jacksonville hospital on Tuesday morning, JSO said.

JSO said Torrens’ violation of probation charge stemmed from his local arrest on Feb. 18 on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (domestic).
