Family of man who died after 2 days in Uintah County jail sues, says he didn’t receive necessary medication
“Jeremy Hunter, 34, was scheduled to stay in the jail for five days on a probation violation when he was booked in December 2014. He died after two. In a filing this month in federal court, the family says the jail should have known of Hunter’s medical issues, that he told them on intake forms he was taking medications for high blood pressure before he was booked, and that the policies put in place by the sheriff’s office and County Commission at the time didn’t protect him and other inmates.”
