Two years after a man with Huntington's disease ended up in the hospital after he called the Ellis County Sheriff's Office for a ride home, the county issued a new order for sheriff's deputies on how to accommodate people with disabilities.
In March 2018, Ruben Solis called the sheriff's office to request a safe ride home, as he had done before. Solis has Huntington's, which causes tremors and shakiness in the limbs and makes it not possible for him to drive.
