Man died of apparent seizure in custody

WARNER ROBINS - A man died after apparently suffering a stroke while being detained by the Houston County sheriff&#39;s department. <br> <br> Authorities said 54-year-old Budd Wetzel of Fort Valley died Thursday after he was taken to the department to give a breath test on suspicion of drunken driving. Wetzel had been involved in a minor traffic accident. <br> <br> A deputy left him alone momentarily and returned when he heard Wetzel scream, finding him on the floor. Sheriff&#39;s Lieutenant Charles Holt said later tests at a hospital detected evidence of a seizure or possible stroke. <br> <br> An autopsy yesterday identified a blood clot in the head as the probable cause of death. <br> <br> Holt said the deputy who was handling Wetzel followed department procedure. <br> <br> Wetzel&#39;s family could not be reached for comment.
