An Iowa woman filed a civil rights lawsuit Monday against a local sheriff over his aggressive policies to get “blood out of a turnip” by allegedly forcing low-income individuals to pay exorbitant jail fees that were then used to fund a gun range stocked with cotton candy and ice cream.
Leticia Roberts served a total of nine days in county jail in 2022 for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. After Roberts was released, she received an invoice for $730 for the time she was detained at the Black Hawk County Jail.
Roberts is a single mom of three who says the $730 bill is a massive debt for her that she still struggles to pay more than two years later.
The ACLU of Iowa filed a class-action lawsuit on Roberts’ behalf in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa. The filing names Black Hawk County Sheriff Tony Thompson and Black Hawk County as defendants.
“As a regular citizen, and being involved within the community, it makes me upset because a sheriff’s office is supposed to uphold the law, not bend it,” Roberts said in a statement. “As a mom, it makes me upset because that is money that could be going towards feeding my children. But instead it was put towards things such as cotton candy and ice cream machines for ‘fun.'”
