Authorities have released the name of the Scotts Bluff County Detention Center inmate that passed away Friday after being found unresponsive in his cell.
County Attorney Dave Eubanks says that 46-year-old David C. Roberts of Scottsbluff was the detainee that passed away. He was arrested Thursday on a violation of the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry.
