The Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office says an inmate has been found dead in his cell.
Capt. David Bufford told reporters that 53-year-old James Lee Flowers of Cabot was pronounced dead after jailers found him unresponsive on the floor of his cell about 2:30 a.m. Friday.
Bufford says the death appears to be a result of natural causes, but the body was sent to the state Crime Laboratory in Little Rock for an autopsy.
Flowers had been in jail since Wednesday for an undisclosed probation violation.
