A Waller Co. grand jury declined to indict anyone in the death of Sandra Bland, who hung herself in a Texas jail cell last summer.

Prosecutor Darrell Jordan says the grand jury will reconvene in January, however, to consider if there should be charges in her arrest, which was caught on video and sparked an uproar.

Bland, a native of Chicago who was on her way to a new job, was pulled over on July 10 for changing lanes improperly. But a confrontation erupted between her and the officer – leading to her arrest.

Bland spent three days in the Waller County Jail and was unable to raise $500 bond before her body was discovered in her cell.
