\nA federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought against the city of Glasgow, the Glasgow Police Department and three police officers, following the 2020 death of a man in police custody.<\/p>\n
Jeremy S. Marr, 35, died in police custody on April 14, 2020, after entering a home uninvited on Cleveland Avenue. During the encounter, officers tased him multiple times and used intense physical restraint while taking him into custody.<\/p>\n
A video posted on social media at the time appeared to show an officer apparently kneeing him in the back several times. The technique was later determined to be an approved policing technique known as a knee blow.<\/p>\n
The Kentucky Medical Examiner\u2019s Office later determined Marr died from \u201cagitated\/excited delirium complicating acute methamphetamine intoxication.\u201d They also did not find any evidence of lethal trauma.<\/p>\n
The incident underwent scrutiny by Kentucky State Police and the Kentucky Attorney General\u2019s Office. A special prosecutor declined to prosecute the case following a review of the evidence.<\/p>\n
Since the lawsuit was filed, attorneys have gathered depositions and additional evidence in preparation for a potential trial. However, a recent request for summary judgment, where a judge rules on the case without a jury, was granted.<\/p>\n
Judge Greg Stivers granted a motion to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, meaning it cannot be brought back to court. The decision is appealable, however, meaning it can be submitted to a higher court for review.<\/p>\n
Marr\u2019s estate alleged he died a \u201cwrongful death\u201d at the hands of law enforcement in Glasgow. Stivers ruled the evidence in the case favored the officers\u2019 actions.
