“Hospital staff reported that Russell wouldn’t cooperate and was in too much pain to even lie down, so they asked a Paul’s Valley police officer to assist. And that’s when Russell’s medical emergency morphed into a drug bust. The police officer found two prescription pills on her for which she did not have a prescription, so she was arrested and jailed on drug possession charges. She was found unresponsive in her cell less than two hours later. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation has cleared the jail staff of any criminal wrongdoing.”
