A Bryan man is booked at the Brazos County jail for the 46th time after telling Bryan police he has coronavirus and he coughs in the direction of officers. This is after Bryan police responded to a disturbance Sunday night between a husband and wife at their home. According to the arrest report, officers believed 42 year old Manvell Ily Ginn was under the influence of PCP, and he arrested for public intoxication. At the jail, Ginn told detention and BPD officers he had coronavirus and he coughed towards the face of a detention officer. That led to an additional charge of harassing a public servant and Ginn being placed in a jail cell by himself. Jail administrator Wayne Dicky says no inmates have tested positive, detention officers have been trained to spot symptoms, inmates are separated when there are concerns, and the vast majority of inmates are cooperating during the pandemic. Ginn was in jail Tuesday afternoon in lieu of an $8,000 dollar bond.
