STATEWIDE — Two inmates died in separate Indiana jails early today.
At the Boone County Jail, Brittany Moore of Indianapolis was found unresponsive in a holding cell around 3:20 a.m. She had been booked the night before on charges of resisting law enforcement and possession of marijuana.
Emergency crews were called, but she did not survive. Her family has been notified, and the case remains under investigation.
A few hours later, staff at the Huntington County Jail found an inmate unresponsive shortly after 7 a.m. Workers had checked on the person less than 30 minutes earlier and attempted to revive them, but the inmate died.
