Rutledge was arrested on charges of violating his probation for burglary/criminal mischief and violation of his juvenile imposed conditions.
Foulks was in the process of booking Rutledge when he collapsed on the ground clutching his chest.
Surveillance footage shows the handcuffed teen calling out and kicking the fence of the booking area in order to draw attention to Foulks.
Three other officers — Raymond Ketchmark, Robert Norvis, and Todd Bunin — then arrived and applied life-saving measures to Foulks until a fire rescue team responded.
