In a profound loss for the Jacksonville community, entrepreneur and food truck owner Charles Faggart has passed away following an incident at the Duval County Jail that left him with fatal injuries. Faggart sustained injuries last Monday and had been declared brain dead by the time of his passing yesterday at 2:11 p.m., as stated in a press release from his family's attorney, First Coast News details.
According to reports, Faggart was the proprietor of 'Chop It Charlie's,' a local catering and food truck business. His troubles began after being arrested last Tuesday for suspicion of domestic assault and criminal mischief. Following the incident that led to his critical condition, nine corrections officers at the jail have been suspended pending investigation.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office issued a statement expressing their ongoing effort to "work diligently to gain a complete understanding of the facts and circumstances" related to Faggart's injuries and subsequent death. However, specific details about the incident or the involvement of the corrections officers have been tightly held, with Sheriff Waters indicating only that the situation was serious enough to warrant public address, as News4JAX reported.
