Brittany Weide
Brittany Weide, 26, was the mother of two, and her aunt Tammy Tubbs said the family wants peace, understanding, and for her death to make a difference. She died inside the Pawnee County Jail in Pawnee, Oklahoma, in July 2019. Sheriff Mike Waters said she had smuggled a .40 caliber gun into the jail and shot herself in a detox cell. Her family says the case is hard to understand, and they say the state agency that reviewed it cleared the sheriff's office, but the state declined to release its case file.
