DANVILLE â The estate of a Hoopeston man who died in the Vermilion County jail is suing the county in federal court.
The administrator of the estate of Thomas Dalton filed a lawsuit earlier this month, alleging that jail employees ignored his medical requests for eight days until he died Feb. 16, 2020.
âThis was completely preventable,â Peoria attorney Louis Meyer said.
Vermilion County Sheriff Patrick Hartshorn did not respond to a request for comment.
Dalton, 33, was booked into the jail Jan. 30, 2020, for possession of a controlled substance, according to the lawsuit, and listed pre-existing medical conditions.
On Feb. 3, Shelly Harding, a nurse, examined Dalton and ordered medication for narcotics withdrawal, the suit said.
