After being handcuffed by the police, Mario Terruso Jr. was hallucinating, complaining of extreme nausea, and appeared to be high on drugs. But the New Jersey officers instead brought him directly to jail, concerned about getting bogged down on a Sunday shift awaiting a lengthy medical evaluation, according to an investigation by the state attorney general’s office. Thirteen hours later, after being forcibly restrained in jail, Mr. Terruso, 41, was dead. On Monday, a grand jury took the unusual step of handing up indictments against eight officers involved in the 2019 arrest and the subsequent restraint of Mr. Terruso inside Atlantic County’s jail. Eric Tornblom and Mark Jenigen, both correction officers at the jail, are charged with manslaughter.
