A federal inmate who expressed his desire to kill himself just moments before his arrest committed suicide at the Orleans Parish jail Sunday night, according to a news release from Sheriff Marlin Gusman issued late Monday.
William Goetzee, 48, was arrested Aug. 2 outside federal court after he tried to snatch a gun from a federal security officer. During the attempt to get the gun, he told the officer he wanted to kill himself.

Now I know why he wanted to kill himself.
well...it’s not like he was on suicide prevent...he was on suicide watch.
And it seems that watch was exactly what they did.
Some suicide watch. I think the deputy that went out for a sandwich while he was supposed to watch this dope should get an award from the city. Look at how much he saved them eliminating the expense of a trial.
They should give full psych. evaluations to all those in the Orleans Parish Jail who do not want to kill themselves.
Was he an investor in the stock market?
He killed himself with toilet paper! I’ve never heard of someone doing this, and there is no way to prevent it. You can take away shoelaces, razors, belts, etc. But you can’t deny toilet paper or watch them while they are on the john.
Well, he killed himself with toliet paper - might well be stock certificates.
No mention of why he was arrested, if he was a 3 time loser or what. Just more fine in-depth reporting from the media. Journalism is dead from every perspective. They can’t be bothered to tell you who, what, why, when and how anymore, because they use up all of their room for articles pushing their agenda. Jerks.
Actually, it does.
Saved the folks in Louisiana a whole bunch of money. They ought to at least name a bridge after him.
I know..that is crazy...I hope I never get to where that is an option...I hope he is in a better place now.
I think that Edwin Edwards gets first dibs.
Another example of a person who does not want to be taken alive by the police.
Now, if the cop had to wrestle his gun back and it went off killing this guy then it would be “a police state”.
if he has family, and they get a hold of some scum suckin lawyers...maybe..maybe not
suicide prevention might have been better then suicide watch
NOW you tell me...
You can find some pretty macabre things when you do internet searches on certain terms.......
What’s next, pay-per-view?
