Maricopa County

In 2002, Charles Agster III was forced by detention officers into a restraint chair. He died three days later. A medical examiner later concluded that Agster died from complications related to methamphetamine intoxication. His family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Maricopa County, Sheriff Joe Arpaio and jailhouse nurses claiming they were negligent in his death. A federal jury has awarded Agster's parents a $9 million settlement. (Mar-24-06) [EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE]
