TARRANT COUNTY, Texas — The family of a woman with severe intellectual disabilities has filed a lawsuit against Tarrant County after the womanKelly Masten, 40, suffers from Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, a rare epilepsy disorder that causes her to have seizures nearly every day. On April 11, 2022, her grandmother called 911 after Masten bit her. The lawsuit states she called 911 for Masten to receive medical assistance, but instead, she was arrested and taken to jail.

There were two different claims to rehouse Masten to the infirmary days later, but Masten remained in her unpadded cell, until April 18, when she was finally moved to the medical unit. On April 19, the suit states Masten was finally classified as a"fall risk." The suit goes on to state that Masten's family had brought anti-seizure medication to the jail, only to be turned away.
