A man who was an inmate at the Palm Beach County (Fla.) Jail in 2001 filed suit last Monday against the Sheriff's Office and Prison Health Services, alleging that he suffered permanent injury after jail staff denied him his epilepsy medication. Peter Ulchak, 57, was arrested in October 2001 on charges of selling prescription drugs, probation violation and driving under the influence, according to jail records. His lawsuit states that he informed jail staff of his epilepsy but the drugs were taken from him anyway. Over the next few days, the suit states, Ulchak suffered a series of small seizures but was ignored. On Nov. 12, 2001, Ulchak says he had a major seizure, which left him with a severely fractured hip. |
