Original article (with links)
is here.
I'm only pasting the first paragraph because of quotes and things of that nature in the original piece:
Eric Perez was just days into his eighteenth year when his life ended suddenly. The circumstances surrounding his death are both tragic and disturbing. Eric died within the care of the Palm Beach Regional Detention Center where he was incarcerated because he had been caught with a small amount of marijuana while riding a bike with a broken light.
The offense was relatively minor, but the consequences weren’t.
