Eric Jones – Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In 2013, Jailer Eric Jones was implicated in the death of inmate Ronald Gaunce, who died from severe drug withdrawal while in custody. A federal judge ruled that Jones demonstrated ‘deliberate indifference’ to Gaunce’s medical needs. The case was settled in 2017 for over $400,000, with Jones agreeing to implement regular training for employees on recognizing and responding to withdrawal symptoms.

Why This Matters
