Inmate medical costs reduced

BRONSON - About $40,000 worth of medical bills paid by Levy County to North Florida Medical Center and Shands at the University of Florida were negotiated down from the original charges of about $60,500 incurred by Levy County Jail inmates, according to records.

Levy County Attorney Anne Brown received approval for settlement of inmate medical expenses for former LCJ inmates Roy L. Britt, 23, of Chiefland and James R. Pendlebury, 51, of Chiefland.

On Dec. 19, Lt. Evan Sullivan of the Levy County Sheriff's Office said Britt is wanted on a violation of probation charge. When he was in jail previously and needed medical care, it was on a charge of battery, Sullivan said.

Pendlebury had been in jail for possession of crack cocaine, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia when he needed hospital care, Sullivan said.

The Levy County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved the payments to settlement the old medical bills on Dec. 18.
