SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A woman held at the Minnehaha County jail died last month from a meth overdose, according to information from the county coroner released on Tuesday.

She had been booked into the jail on a misdemeanor charge related to child support. Eichmann was a mother of three who was waiting on a spot reserved for her at a treatment facility.
