Is Highway Patrol To Blame For Man's Death?

A Grand Bay woman claims her boyfriend would still be alive if the Mississippi Highway Patrol had handled an accident differently. Carolyn Raines' boyfriend, Alex Bailey, was involved in an accident last month on I-10. Raines says the officer on the scene thought Bailey was drunk when really he was having a stroke. Raines says Bailey was taken into custody and three hours passed before he got medical treatment. Raines says by that time it was too late, "I just want first responders to be made aware that there are other reasons besides D.U.I. or on drugs that people can act like this," said Raines. We wanted to get the Mississippi Highway Patrol's side of the story. But, a lawyer for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety said they have no comment because there may be pending litigation.
