After being held for nearly a week, he used Facebook Live to expose unsanitary conditions, including roaches, bugs, gnats, black mold, and standing water. Despite requests for a change of clothes, McDonald felt ignored by staff, leading to feelings of hopelessness. Authorities are investigating his complaints and how he retained his phone. McDonald was released, and his charges dropped, but he continues to advocate for jail reforms.
