An Oxnard man arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol after he rammed the rear of another car died shortly after being found unconscious in a police holding cell a few hours later, authorities said Wednesday. Citing the inquiry, [Joe] Munoz declined to say how often officers checked on the prisoner before he was found unconscious at 7 p.m. Tuesday, nearly three hours after the accident. Nor would Munoz say the time Allen was booked into jail or how he acted while being interviewed by police. Although Allen was booked for drunk driving after taking a breath test, police would not say what his blood-alcohol level was. Munoz also would not give details of the accident, including the speed at which Allen was traveling when he rear-ended a second car stopped at the intersection of Channel Islands Boulevard and Ventura Road in Oxnard.
