CRESTVIEW — A woman recently released from the Okaloosa County Jail has died from open heart surgery complications.
Jail Capt. Stefan Vaughn said 37-year-old Crestview resident Megan Lively wasn't an inmate when she died, as her Facebook page states, Dec. 12.
Lively was arrested in September and charged with committing her third petty theft, which made the crime a felony, Vaughn said. New charges were filed Oct. 6, while she was still in custody.
The wife and mother of three was being held on no bond for probation violation.
Lively pleaded not guilty in November and was scheduled to go to trial Jan. 12, according to court records. However, she was released Dec. 11 to get medical care, Vaughn said.
