Jail Administrator Monica Smith was named in a lawsuit filed by a pretrial detainee alleging inadequate medical care during his detention in October 2023. The plaintiff claimed that Smith denied him necessary dental treatment, leading to severe pain and the need to remove several teeth himself. The court found that the plaintiff failed to state a plausible claim against Smith due to lack of specific allegations regarding her personal involvement.
