Bexar County, University Health System and Sheriff Javier Salazar are being sued in the death of a mentally ill inmate that occurred two weeks after he was jailed for criminal trespass.
Jack Ule, 63, died April 18 while at the Bexar County Adult Detention Center. He had been charged with a class B misdemeanor of criminal trespass with bond set at $500.
