Autopsy: Woman In Brown County Jail Died Of Meth Overdose

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota’s attorney general says a woman who died while in custody in Brown County died of a meth overdose.

Attorney General Marty Jackley says an autopsy on 24-year-old Sarah Circle Bear found her blood had acute methamphetamine and amphetamine toxicity.

Circle Bear, of Claremont, was found unresponsive in the jail July 5 and died later the same day at a local hospital.

The American News in Aberdeen previously reported Circle Bear was in custody on a bond violation following a minor car accident in Roberts County.
