While being in custody after being arrested,I needed medical care,so I was transported to the hospital.the hospital gave me two tylenol and sent me back into custody .the hospital bill was $500.who pays? Is my question,the police dept.or me.

We do taxpayers :(

It is usually the reponsibilty of the agency exercising control over the arrested person. I however have saw Judges in Ky order that the prisoner pay all medical expenses as part of their restitution.
