Sources familiar with the detention of theater shooting suspect James Holmes say his low-key detached demeanor has not changed since he was taken into custody early Friday morning.According to knowledgeable sources, reports that Holmes was spitting at guards in jail are "simply false."Two national news organizations have reported that Holmes, who is being detained in solitary confinement, has been acting out at the Arapahoe County Jail. One national news organization also reported Tuesday night that Holmes has been put in a headgear to prevent him from spitting at guards.However, knowledgeable sources tell CALL7 Investigator John Ferrugia that is just not true.The story claiming Holmes was in a protective headgear was reported Tuesday night, despite a report by Ferrugia on Monday that, contrary to what some media organizations have reported, our sources say in the past 48-hours Holmes has been calm and docile in jail, just like he was in court. There have been no outbursts at all as he is in isolation.
