Ricky Lee Burris, 54, was found unresponsive on June 15, according to the Bellefontaine Examiner.
He was reportedly arrested the day before for failure to appear.
The lawsuit claims that Burris wasn’t treated properly for alcohol withdrawal. It also cites an inmate who died from alcohol withdrawal at the jail in 2002.
A Cincinnati law firm is representing Burris’ family in the suit, which was filed in federal court in Columbus.
