The driver then requested an attorney, and his interview ended at approximately 8:19 p.m. Based on agent interviews, shortly after the driver requested an attorney, he asked an agent who he could speak with if he had a thought of suicide. The agent asked the driver if he was having suicidal thoughts, and the driver replied, "No." The agent reportedly offered the opportunity for the driver to speak with someone regarding suicidal thoughts and the driver declined and said he was fine. Following this conversation, the agent advised the supervisors who then reportedly monitored the driver on a live feed camera inside his cell. At approximately 8:29 p.m., the driver placed a monitored call to his mother and agents subsequently returned him to his cell. At approximately 900 p.m., agents escorted the driver to his truck to retrieve additional personal property and escorted him back to his detention cell approximately 25 minutes later. At 10:39 p.m., two agents approached the cell to serve the driver with administrative paperwork.
