Shaw said Grillo was about to be taken to the jail on charges of rape, sodomy and burglary. The charges stemmed from an incident last week.
Shaw said neither Grillo nor the officers had been aggressive. Shaw said authorities think Grillo had consumed something that caused his medical condition. The cause of death has not been determined.
The victim’s wife, Heather, said her husband was falsely accused and saw no way out of his circumstances.
