A civil lawsuit challenging the Brown County Jailâs policy regarding the dispensing of prescribed medications that are also controlled substances has reached a settlement.
Filed on behalf of Chantel Voeltz-Schmit and seeking to include other inmates at the jail, it was dismissed last week, according to court documents.
Voeltz-Schmit filed the lawsuit in November through her attorney Jim Leach of Rapid City. That was shortly before she was sentenced in Brown County and ordered to serve time on a drug-related charge. According to court documents, she served eight days and has since been released.
At issue were prescribed medications that Voeltz-Schmit takes that are considered controlled substances. She wanted to ensure she received those medications while in custody.
