Text: On May 9, 2000, Loggins was convicted of public indecency in the Franklin County, Ohio, Municipal Court. Loggins was placed on probation for two years by Judge Mark Froehlich of that court. As a condition of probation, Loggins was ordered not to engage in any offensive conduct or commit any similar acts. Defendant-Appellee Melinda Brooks (“Brooks”) was assigned as Loggins’ probation officer. In August 2001, Brooks received a call from Larry Mangus, Dean of Student Affairs for Shawnee State University (the “University”), alerting Brooks that Loggins was suspended from the University for violating the University Student Code against lewd conduct. Using this information, Brooks filed a Statement of Violations informing Judge Froehlich of the new allegations. The Statement of Violations outlined the allegations and recommended Loggins’ probation be revoked if he was found to have violated the conditions of his probation. Judge Froehlich issued an arrest warrant and Loggins was arrested. On September 11, 2001, Loggins, while being represented by counsel, stipulated probable cause existed for the violation of his probation and continued with the mitigation portion of the revocation hearing. Judge Froehlich -2- No. 05-4135 James Loggins v. Franklin County Ohio, et al terminated Loggins’ probation for the time he served in jail awaiting his hearing and because of medical problems associated with injuries he received during a jail altercation. While in custody for the probation violation, Loggins was housed at the Franklin County Corrections Center II (“FCCCII”). On September 8, 2001, Loggins was in an altercation with inmate Marquis Russell (“Russell”). The altercation consisted of both individuals exchanging words and each throwing one punch. Russell’s blow connected resulting in multiple fractures to Loggins’ lower jaw. Loggins signed a statement indicating he did not wish to pursue internal jail rules violations against Russell prior to being taken to the Ohio State University Medical Center (the “Hospital”) for treatment. Loggins’ deposition testimony indicates the statement was given freely without any indication Loggins opposed completing the statement before being taken to the Hospital. The delay in leaving for the Hospital was thirty to forty-five minutes. Loggins’ injuries required surgery and his jaw was wired shut on September 10, 2001. Loggins was released from the Hospital and returned to FCCCII on September 11, 2001. Loggins in his deposition states that after his return to FCCCII, he was not provided with his liquids only diet, was refused medical attention and was denied access to his prescribed medications and supplies. Loggins was incarcerated for less than twenty-four hours after returning from the Hospital. Loggins arrived at FCCCII from the Hospital at 4:10 p.m. September 11, 2001 and was released from FCCCII at 1:01 p.m. September 12, 2001. After returning from the Hospital, Loggins was placed in a holding cell to be processed prior to being placed in a medical cell. A doctor at FCCCII received the discharge paperwork from the Hospital and created medical orders for jail personnel at 10:45 p.m. September 11, 2001. The orders show the facility doctor ordered Loggins -3- No. 05-4135 James Loggins v. Franklin County Ohio, et al to receive antibiotics, pain medication and a liquid diet. At approximately 10:00 p.m. on September 11, 2001, Loggins filled out a medical request form that was transmitted to the medical department by jail guards. The medical request form was processed after Loggins was released the following day. The medical care at the jail was subcontracted out to the Ohio State University Hospitals.
