Terrance Dwayne Winborn appeared at a press conference where his attorneys discussed a multi-million dollar settlement with a Minnesota county on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2023, in Minneapolis. Winborn was booked into the Scott County jail in August of 2020 on suspicion of drunken driving but ended up losing both his arms, suffering a heart attack, skin lesions all over his body and other serious medical conditions, allegedly due to the indifference and inaction of jail staff.
“That deliberate indifference allowed a bacterial infection to run rampant within his body, leading to a heart attack ... and a host of other devastating and permanent injuries,” attorney Katie Bennett told reporters. “I don't sleep because every time I dream, I dream I have my hands, you know. And I wake up, they're gone again," Winborn said in the video. “I'd rather have my hands than anything.”
Personnel at the suburban hospital were so concerned that they sent him by ambulance that night to a bigger hospital in Minneapolis, where he was put in intensive care, the complaint said. Doctors amputated his hand and part of his forearm two days later after necrotizing fasciitis set in, a condition popularly known as flesh-eating bacteria. It's a rare condition in which marauding bacteria run rampant through tissue.
