OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/04/2026, Baytown Police Department officers attempted to arrest 33-year-old Jason Satchell during a traffic stop in the 4300 block of Crosby-Cedar Bayou Road near Jenkins Park. Satchell was wanted by the Chambers County Sheriff's Office on an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon warrant.

According to investigators, Satchell and another person inside the vehicle refused officers' commands after the stop. Officers deployed pepper-ball munitions and a police K-9 in an effort to take the occupants into custody. One person was arrested without further incident, while Satchell climbed into the trunk of the vehicle and remained inside as officers attempted to gain control of the situation.

When officers were able to open the trunk, they found Satchell unconscious and suffering what police described as a medical emergency. Officers immediately began rendering medical aid and requested emergency medical services. Satchell was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Baytown police stated that no officer discharged a firearm during the incident.

The Baytown Police Department requested an independent investigation into the in-custody death. Authorities stated that the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences would determine the official cause and manner of death through an autopsy. As of the latest reporting, investigators had not announced what caused Satchell to lose consciousness while inside the trunk, and the circumstances surrounding his death remain under investigation.
