Topeka ? The attorney for a therapist accused of stalking a soldier says her treatment while jailed at a Leavenworth facility may constitute “cruel and unusual” punishment.

Rachelle Santiago is charged with stalking and attempting to elude police at Fort Riley.

Attorney Ronald Wurtz claimed in a court filing Thursday that Santiago’s anti-anxiety medication has been reduced against the court’s order. He says the combination of a cold room, cold food and lack of medication is unreasonable, especially for someone with a post-psychotic mental condition.

His asks that the 43-year-old Manhattan woman be placed at a mental facility immediately or at a halfway house until a bed is available at one.
