SPRINGFIELD — The sister of a woman who hanged herself while in the lock-up at the Roderick L. Ireland Courthouse is mounting a wrongful death suit against the state, according to court records.
Tara Lehenry, 44, of West Springfield, was found unresponsive on April 2, 2024, after she was arrested on drug possession charges and was attempting to get admitted to a rehab facility, records say, as she was struggling with addiction.
