Former Sheriff Gary McCool was named in a lawsuit alleging deliberate indifference to an inmate’s medical needs during incarceration from April 5, 2011, to September 1, 2011. The plaintiff claimed that McCool failed to ensure proper training in medication handling and did not provide adequate medical staff and equipment, resulting in the withholding of necessary medications and denial of professional medical attention. The lawsuit was filed in 2012 and dismissed in 2013.
