The accused, a police officer, arrested a woman who was severely intoxicated by methamphetamine.
While she was in his custody, her condition deteriorated significantly, but he failed to seek medical assistance.
He subsequently transferred her to the custody of other officers and deliberately provided them with false and incomplete information about her medical condition, delaying medical intervention.
The detainee later died of methamphetamine toxicity.
The court found the accused guilty of failing to provide the necessaries of life and criminal negligence causing death, holding that his actions constituted a marked and substantial departure from the standard of care of a reasonably prudent police officer.
