FORSYTH COUNTY, N.C. — A new video was released Wednesday showing an inmate being restrained at the Forsyth County Detention Center in December.

The incident led to the death of that inmate and charges being filed against six people.

The new bodycam footage shows John Neville, who was restrained after suffering a seizure in his jail cell, being taken out and put into another cell, where he was hog-tied with hands cuffed behind him.

In the video, Neville can be heard saying “I can’t breathe, let me go, please, please, I can’t breathe.”

The 56-year-old inmate continued to repeat “I can’t breathe” over 20 times while calling for help when being held down by a total of five officers.

Despite CPR being performed on Neville, he later died at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.

The release of the video brought additional protests over Neville’s death in downtown Winston-Salem. The protests have been held since the district attorney announced that five former detention officers and a nurse were charged with involuntary manslaughter in Neville’s death. 

Protesters say while they are happy with the decision to release the footage, it shouldn’t have taken this long.

“If nothing was questionable in that event or regard, I feel like something should’ve been done when it first happened,” said one protester. “We shouldn’t have had to do any of this to get that. So, why we count this as a small victory, it should’ve happened a long time ago.”

On Tuesday, an attorney for Neville’s family announced plans to file a lawsuit against the company contracted to provide nursing services at the jail.
