Eaton County Sheriff's Office sued... again

Posted

A lawsuit filed last month alleges a juvenile girl at the Lansing Mall was thrown against a wall, held by her neck, and roughly bent over a table and handcuffed.

The lawsuit also alleges the deputy yelled racial and sexist slurs at the girl. 

Sheriff Tom Reich says the allegations in the lawsuit don't match up with the police report from the incident."

The office is currently dealing with two other lawsuits. All three have occurred after Reich was elected Sheriff in 2012.
