MUSKEGON, Mich. (WOOD) — The Michigan Attorney General’s Office criminal division will review the death of a Muskegon County Jail inmate to determine if the case merits charges.
The Muskegon County Sheriff’s Department had closed its internal investigation into the April 4 death of Paul Bulthouse, finding no wrongdoing.
But the department reopened the case in response to a Target 8 investigation that found a jail guard had witnessed one of Bulthouse’s 17 seizures on the morning of his death in a close-observation cell. The guard walked away; Bulthouse died 2.5 hours later without medical help.
Muskegon County Prosecutor D.J. Hilson asked Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel to appoint a special prosecutor to review the death. Often, the AG appoints a prosecutor from a neighboring county. In this case, however, Nessel assigned the case to her criminal division.
