LATHROP – The scene just didn’t look right to Lathrop Police Services’ deputy Jeff Watson. Parked on the side of I-5 was a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation transport van with both of the correctional officers standing outside of the vehicles with panicked looks on their faces.So he stopped. And he was immediately told that an inmate was bleeding out in the back of the van and the two correctional officers didn’t know what to do.
