WASATCH COUNTY, Utah — A Utah woman is suing the state and Wasatch County, claiming her disability rights were violated when arrested for charges that were later dismissed.
Before the incident, Louise Kingston of Hideout suffered from a stage 4 pelvic organ prolapse, which causes her pain and lack of control over her bladder and bowels. The government recognizes her as disabled.Trooper bodycam video shows Kingston asking repeatedly if she could use the bathroom before they leave for the jail."Once you get to the jail, yes," responded the trooper."Well, don't poop in my car, please," replied the trooper.
In the time it took for the trooper to fill out paperwork and conduct tests, not once was she given the bathroom she was promised. Kingston was placed in a cell where jail personnel allegedly"laughed at and mocked her." The cell had no toilet.Once she was taken to a bathroom, she couldn't stop.
