WCSO inmate found dead in cell

A 39-year-old Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office jail inmate was found dead in his cell at 11:20 p.m. Saturday, June 7, according to Sheriff Charlie Creel.
Jerry Jackie Kitchens of Seminary, MS was found hanged in his cell by a WCSO detention deputy making routine rounds to check on inmates. Emergency care was immediately administered to Kitchens but was unsuccessful. Wakulla EMS and Wakulla Jail nursing staff also responded to the scene.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) was called to the scene and is conducting an investigation. Autopsy findings conducted through a Monday, June 9 examination was consistent in the cause of death.
Kitchens was arrested April 12 during a traffic stop where a vehicle full of property stolen from Mississippi was discovered. Kitchens faced a variety of charges in Wakulla County including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of stolen property, possession of narcotics and driving while license is suspended or revoked with knowledge.
He remained in the Wakulla County Jail until his death. He was wanted in Mississippi for absconding to Florida prior to reporting to prison in that state.
The FDLE case investigation continues.
