Nashville is a big drug town.
A 52-year-old Davidson County inmate who suffered from inflammation in his stomach and an untreated ulcer died last year from lack of medical care, claims a federal lawsuit filed Friday.
With a bloated stomach, Roy Glenn Hall Jr. was feeling ill while he sat in jail on May 24.
Hall was found unresponsive on the floor of his cell at the Criminal Justice Center on Second Avenue. He was not treated while he was in Davidson County Sheriff’s Office custody, even though medical staff was aware of his illness, the lawsuit states.
