Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether the Third Circuit erred in holding that law enforcement officers' decision to transport an arrestee they believed had ingested drugs, but did not believe required emergency medical care, to a nearby prison with medical staff rather than directly to a hospital constituted deliberate indifference.

2. Whether the Third Circuit erred—warranting summary reversal—in refusing qualified immunity in the absence of any precedent finding a constitutional violation based on similar facts.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether law enforcement officers' decision to transport an arrestee they believed had ingested drugs to a nearby prison with medical staff constituted deliberate indifference
