Anthony “Tony” Mitchell
"On Jan. 12, Mitchell’s cousin, Steve Mitchell, alerted authorities after finding Mitchell at his Carbon Hill residence, where Mitchell lived “in complete isolation,” according to records.
Mitchell — who reportedly had a history of drug abuse — allegedly held delusions that his stillborn sibling was behind the walls of his attic and that portals inside his residence led to heaven and hell.
Steve Mitchell told authorities that in recent months, Mitchell lost around 100 pounds and “was in serious need of psychiatric help.”
When deputies arrived at the Lost Creek Road address, Mitchell allegedly “brandished a handgun and fired at least one shot at deputies before retreating into a wooded area behind his home,” said the Walker County Sheriff’s Office on their Facebook page. He was arrested a short time later and subsequently charged with attempted murder and other drug and firearm offenses.
Photos cited to the sheriff’s office show Mitchell had allegedly spray painted himself black as part of his delusions, according to the lawsuit.[He was NOT a huffer]
Mitchell was then booked into the county jail and allegedly housed in a “bare concrete isolation cell” without any clothes for the two-week duration between Jan. 12 and Jan. 26... "
“The cell lacked a bed or other furnishings. There was only a drain in the floor that could be used as a toilet,” according to the filing. “The cement, the equivalent of a dog kennel. But unlike a dog, Tony was not even given a mat to sleep on.”
On or around Jan. 15, corrections officers allegedly tased Mitchell, which “caused his teeth to pop out.” The denture was never returned, which lawyers say would have prevented him from eating solid food effectively.
Surveillance video allegedly shows a motionless Mitchell naked on the bare floor as multiple correction officers “can be seen clowning and laughing” by his cell, as shown in photos included in the lawsuit. At least three nurses allegedly saw Mitchell’s condition and failed to give him medical attention."
" Jan. 26, an emergency room physician noted that Mitchell had an internal temperature of 72 degrees (experts contend any body temperature below 95 degrees is dangerous)."
" “While Tony languished naked and dying of hypothermia in the early morning hours of Jan. 26 and his chances for survival trickled away, numerous corrections officers and medical staff wandered over to his open cell door to spectate and be entertained by his condition.”
Legal representatives accuse officers of not informing medical personnel of his hypothermic condition, which would have altered the doctors’ course of treatment."
