Sheriff Blackburn – Big Horn County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In 2024, Sheriff Blackburn was named in a lawsuit filed by inmate Mr. Leonhardt, alleging deliberate indifference to serious medical needs. The court found no evidence that Blackburn was aware of the inmate’s medical condition or that he ignored requests for medical care. Consequently, the court granted summary judgment in favor of Blackburn, determining he was entitled to qualified immunity as there was no constitutional violation established.
