SAN DIEGO—The widow of a man who died at the San Diego Central Jail earlier this year filed a lawsuit alleging jail staff failed to provide her husband with prompt medical attention and should have taken him to a hospital rather than booking him into custody.
Tammy Wilson alleges her husband, Omar Moreno Arroyo, 33, was clearly under the influence of drugs and had a heart condition that sheriff’s deputies were aware of when he was arrested on the morning of Jan. 6, according to the lawsuit filed Nov. 16 in San Diego federal court.
