she attempted to bail her son out and had the money to do it but was told her there was a hold on her son’s release

Not for lack of trying.

Butler had been in custody since Jan. 31 and was facing traffic charges that included reckless driving, failure to stop for a blue light and driving with a suspended license.

Yeah I’m not surprised that they’d arrest him. He’d already had his license suspended for something, and continued to drive, apparently in a reckless manner. Apparently this guy was dangerous on the road, and didn’t respect the non-arrest consequence, so jail it is. Still, that doesn’t mean he deserves a shitty jail cell, let alone solitary confinement or death, especially not a torturous death by dehydration and rat bites.
