KENOVA, W.Va. (AP) The mother of a man who died while in police custody in West Virginia has filed a federal lawsuit.
In the complaint, Olivia Dean accuses the city of Kenova and Officer Charles Newman of violating her son s Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures as well as reckless or malicious conduct and deliberate indifference, The Herald-Dispatch reported Sunday.
Kenova Mayor Tim Bias said the city s policy is not to comment on pending litigation.
The complaint says the medical examiner concluded James Dean’s death was a homicide, which means he was killed by someone but doesn t indicate a criminal act, the newspaper reported.
