MINNEAPOLIS –The family of a man who died while in custody at the Hennepin County Jail has won a $3.4 million settlement from the county. Lucas Bellamy Bellamy, although critically ill and in great pain, was left to “crawl around on the jail floor like he was subhuman, like he was an animal,” the family said. The death was in 2022. The settlement is believed to be one of the largest in Minnesota history for a jail death. According to settlement terms revealed in court document, this is what happened:

> Bellamy, age 41, was arrested and told jailers that he  had just ingested a bag of drugs and asked for a Narcan antidote, which he was not given.

>Later Bellamu was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center for a screening and found clinically stable but that he should be brought back to the emergency room for any new symptoms.

> A doctor prescribed Bellamy an array of mild over-the-counter drugs but nothing for potential opioid withdrawals.

> Two days later Belllamy became ill and started vomiting in his cell.

> By the evening, he was doubled over in pain and screaming for help. “My stomach hurts really bad,” he said. He was left unattended to “crawl around on the jail floor like he was subhuman, like he was an animal, while he slowly and painfully died from the effects of a hole in his intestine,” the family said.

> Jailers never took Bellamy back to the hospital.

> Whioe he was exhibiting these symtoms, a jail nurse did not examine his abdomen but told him to alert jailers if his condition progressed.

> While taking his vitals, this nurse failed to take his temperature, which, according the family, would have shown dire straits.

> A second nurs visited Bellamy’s cell the next morning and found him too weak to ingest the over-the-counter drugs he had been prescribed.

> This nurse, the lawsuit alleges, chit-chatted with a deputy on other matters as Bellamy crawled on the floor in pain.

> Bellamy was pronounced dead that afternoon.

The lawsuit alleged that four county employees overseeing Bellamy violated his constitutional rights and acted with “deliberate indifference.”

Writhing, crawling, dying. Among images that Hennepin County didn’t want you to see.

WINONA, Minn. – Police found a car with heavy front-end damage and went looking for the driver at nearby addresses. At Knollwood Drive off Od Homer Road, they found Betsy Jean Comero, 45, who was visiting a friend. Comero said she had hit a deer. Police were dubious. The damage didn’t fit an impact with a deer but instead looked like an encounter with a bridge abutment. Also, police said, Comero seemed drunk. She smelled of alcohol, her speech was slurred, her eyes were bloodshot and watery, and she had poor balance. She refused sobriety tests. This was about 11:15 p.m. Comero was booked on suspicion of drunken driving and for declining chemical testing on her sobriety.

Comero. Has a rural Winna address.

WINONA, Minn. – One thing that can be said about Tahyra Unique Buckner is that she bristles at being told what to do – at least so at a Third Street bar downtown. A bartender called police about 11:45 p.m. on Friday to remove an unwanted customer for appearing to be doing drugs.  Police escorted Buckner out and wrote a citation not to come back for a year. Twenty minutes later Buckner was back. Police returned end escorted her out again and ticketed her as a habitual offender. A third time was back again. This time she resisted being taken out, stiffening into a dead weight that made it difficult to get her into the squad car’s backseat, police said.  At jail she stiffened again and refused to get off the floor. Buckner, age 23, of Winona, was charged eventually with trespassing and obstructing justice. In all of this, police said, her speech was slurred and she smelled of alcohol.

GREEN LAKE, Wis.  – A kayaker who had been believed missing in Green Lake is still missing — bit not in the lake but somewhere in Europe with a Uzbekistan girlfriend.

> Inquired about moving funds to a foreign currency.

MENOMOMIE, Wis. — An 84-year-old Owatonna, Minnesota, man has admitted to the fatal stabbing of a hitchhiker 50 years ago in northwest Wisconsin. Sheriff Kevin Bygd said that Jon Keith Miller was confronted with genetic evidence at his home in Owatonna and fessed up to the 1974 deed. Miller was jailed in Owatonna until his return to Wisconsin could be arranged. The criminal complaint alleges that Mary K. Schlais, 25, of Minneapolis, was hitchhiking to an art show in Chicago. Further, according the complaint, Miller stabbed her and dumped the body near Elk Mound at 408th Avenue and 990th Street. No weapon was found. Three witnesses saw a suspect and a vehicle. “Tips, leads and interviews” over the years came to nothing until genetic genealogists at Ramapo College in New Jersey, made a DNA match that pointed to Miller. The sheriff called the arrest “a huge victory for our agency.” He singled out retired sheriff’s captain Scott McRoberts for an unwaverung passion to solve the case.

Miller. Age 84. A forgone conclusion: Life imprisonment.

Schlais. Stabbed to death in February 1974.

AMERY, Wis. — A school bus driver was cited for driving a school bus drunk with children aboard. The arrest was November 1, but Polk Cointy authorities inexplicably kept a tight lid on the case. Details came out only when Eau Claire television station WQOW demanded access to public records through transparency provisions in Wisconsin law. The case was handled under Sheriff Grady Judd. It appears that someone reported erratic driving, which prompted a call to the driver, Jonathan Bratt, age 63, to unload the five children on the bus and drive back to the bus garage immediately. It was there that Bratt was arrested. A second bus was sent to pick up the kids. Bratt was charged for failing to keep a vehicle under control and for driving under the influence. It was Bratt’s first DWI arrest, records show.

WINONA, Minn. – Police tasered a man who resisted arrest on a warrant for violating a court order to stay away from a protected person. Why did Anthony Martin Arreola, age 37, so vigorously resist arrest that police decided to use a stun gun? Drugs may have been the reason. When finally arrested, police said, Arreola had drugs in his possession. He also was charged with obstructing justice. This was about 11:40 p.m. on Wabasha Street. The incident began when an officer on patrol recognized Arreola and announced he was under arrest. Arreola backed away, then pulled away, then cinched up his pants and assumed an attack posture, police said. He pushed off a second officer and swatted at him. The second officer tasered Arreola twice but to no effect. The second officer tackled Arreola at the waist, which brought him down to be handcuffed. On his person police said they found a syringe with 0.2 grams of meth. Arreola wasn’t injured in the melee. One officer suffered minor face scratches when he and Arreloa crashed into a fence.

Arreola. Tased twice and tackled before police got cuffs on him.
