FARGO (KFGO) – The Cass County Sheriff’s Office has identified the inmate who died in the Cass County Jail Monday night as 37-year-old Alexis Beryl Phillips of Ogema, Minnesota. The Sheriff’s Office says she had a medical emergency.
A deputy found Phillips unresponsive shortly before 11:30 p.m. while conducting a scheduled check. Deputies began life-saving efforts and Sanford Ambulance and the Fargo Fire Department responded to help save her, but the attempts were unsuccessful.
Phillips was arrested last Friday for driving under suspension which was tied to an earlier arrest for criminal mischief.
The Cass County Sheriff’s Office, Cass County Coroner’s Office, North Dakota BCI, and the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, are investigating the in-custody death.
