Student forgotten in cell for 5 days will sue DEA
Los Angeles (CNN) -- A San Diego college student filed a legal claim Wednesday for damages suffered when he was left handcuffed and without food or water in a Drug Enforcement Administration holding cell for five days last month.
Chong drank his own urine to survive as his cries for help were ignored by federal agents and inmates in nearby cells, Iredale said.
"He began hallucinating sometime around the end of the second or start of the third day," Iredale said. "At some point, he wanted to kill himself because of pain."
Not knowing why he was being kept in the cell without food, water or a toilet for so long confused him, Iredale said.
He lost track of time in the dark cell, his lawyer said. "At the end, he just wanted to die because he was crazy."
He was rushed to a hospital, where he was kept in intensive care for two days, having been close to death from kidney failure, Iredale said.

Kids here's your lesson: don't smoke marijuana. You may be tortured for 5 days like a terrorist prisoner.

These DEA guys make Joe Arpaio (self-proclaimed world's toughest sheriff) look like a humanitarian. And that ain't easy.

Unfortunately, the DEA will have to compensate the kid - doesn't seem right getting busted for drugs and guns and coming out with big cash........what a country.

Terrible story.
By the way, drinking your own urine as a means of hydration doesn't work, for the same reason that there's no such thing as a perpetual motion machine.

I wonder what the spin would have been if he would have died in that cell?

Same lawyer, same spin - the client would be the parents instead of the kid.

If he would have died, I doubt it would have been reported he was not checked on for 5 days.
