college student forgotten in a cell for 5 days drinks his urine

the "national defense authorization act" can be thanked for shit like this happening now.

A San Diego college student who was forgotten by federal drug agents and left in a holding cell for five days without food or water or access to a toilet says he drank his own urine to survive.

The man, identified by news outlets as 23-year-old UC San Diego engineering student Daniel Chong, was detained for questioning along with eight other people during an April 21 raid in which agents seized guns, ammunition and various drugs, according to the DEA.

The suspects were taken to the DEA's San Diego-area headquarters in Kearny Mesa, Fox5 San Diego reported. While being processed, they were moved around the five cells at the facility, according to the agency's statement.

Each was questioned in separate interview rooms and frequently moved around between rooms and cells.
"Seven suspects were brought to county [jail] after processing, one was released, and [Chong] was accidentally left in one of the cells,'' the DEA statement reads.

Despite Chong's shouts and his pounding and kicking on doors and walls in the holding cell, agents failed to realize they had forgotten about him until five days later, Chong told NBC San Diego.

He said he had to drink his own urine to stay alive, eventually began hallucinating and at one point tried to kill himself by breaking his glasses and using glass shards to cut his wrists.

Medics took Chong to a hospital, where he was admitted to an intensive-care unit and kept under physicians' care for several days, he said. Medical staffers told him he had nearly died of kidney failure, he told the station.

The Drug Enforcement Administration offered no explanation for how agents could have lost track of Chong and failed to hear his cries for help.

"DEA plans to thoroughly review both the events and detention procedures on April 21st and after,'' according to the prepared statement about the case.

wtf there was a small bag of meth in his cell that he found but did not belong to him?

Does the DEA know how to properly body search ppl?

I guess he learned his lesson not to hang around people with weapons and drugs lol

Someone's gonna get their pants sued off, and rightfully so.

All this guy has to do is get better and collect shit load of $ from them

Agreed. Police getting in trouble? :fuckthatshit: They either get an excuse to let off the hook or a public apology with small compensation or none at all and call it a day.

Usually that's the case scenarios

not only did he drink his own piss, he ate glass trying to kill himself, and tried to carve into his arm "sorry mom"

Watch them still try to charge him for something too.. :facepalm:

how do you "forget" someone you stuffed in a locked room for 5 fucking days?
