When Anthony "Tony" Mitchell was taken into police custody on January 12, 2023, his family was promised a mental health evaluation and help detoxing. Instead, he died of hypothermia while in custody 14 days later.

So far, over a dozen employees of the jail and sheriff's office have pled guilty for their parts in his murder.
