Sheriff Sean Casey joins Police Chief Tarrick McGuire in extending his condolences to the loved ones of Allan F. Tucker II, who died in Alexandria police custody on August 15. 

The Alexandria Sheriff’s Office fully supports, and has cooperated with, the Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) as it conducts a thorough investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Tucker’s death.

The Sheriff’s Office has also initiated our own internal review, which will carefully examine the actions of our staff during, and in relation to, these events. 

As part of this review, the wait time experienced by the Alexandria Police Department officers is being assessed. For context, a wait time of approximately 40 minutes during shift change would not be unusual.

It is also important to emphasize that Sheriff’s Office deputies and contract medical staff responded immediately to provide assistance once they were notified of the medical emergency.

In our commitment to transparency, the Alexandria Sheriff’s Office is providing security camera footage showing Alexandria police officers transporting Mr. Tucker into the Public Safety Center complex, entering the sallyport, and activity inside the sallyport. This video has no sound because the security cameras do not record audio.  Consistent with the body-worn camera video released by the Alexandria Police Department, the Sheriff’s Office video ends at 7:01 p.m.
