MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. — For the first time since the story broke, Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham is speaking about the death of a Macomb County Jail inmate.

Wickersham is adamant that his deputies did what they were supposed to do.

David Stojcevski, 32, died in June 2014 while he was in custody at the Macomb County Jail to serve a 30-day careless driving sentence. The Local 4 Defenders obtained the 240 hours of in-cell video that shows Stojcevski expressing signs of drug withdrawals.

“I want the residents of Macomb County to know that our office is truly committed to providing a professional service to all members of our county that they come in contact with,” said the sheriff.
