Bexar County Inmate Commits Suicide
Deputy Finds Inmate Attempting Suicide
(TX) – A deputy with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office was doing his rounds on Friday when he found an inmate attempting to commit suicide.

Mark Reid had been in the Bexar County jail since November. He was accused of continuous sexual abuse of a child. In Texas, that’s a first degree felony. The judge set Reid’s bail bond at $200,000.
