Massive Wrongful Death Suit Filed Against Police and Taser Int'l Inc.

  • Disabled man shocked with 450,000 Volts of Electricity from Tasers -- Family Seeks $570 Million
The death of a disabled man under dubious circumstances, the refusal to release public records, and the denial of any wrong doing by various Southampton and Suffolk County officials has prompted one family to take action. On Monday relatives of deceased Southampton resident David Glowczenski filed a $570 million lawsuit against the Southampton Village Police Department and Taser International, the manufacturers of taser guns. Seven months ago, Glowczenski who suffered from schizophrenia, was subdued and consequently killed under police custody. The cause of death is believed to have been the 450,000 volts of electricity shot through his body by way of taser.
"The Southampton Police simply killed this man with no regard for him or his family, and what makes it worse is that Suffolk County compounded the crime by intentionally withholding autopsy results and leaving this family in the dark about their loved one," said family attorney Frederick Brewington, of Hempstead.  Named in the lawsuit are Southampton Village Police Officers Brian Platt, Marla Donovan, Chris Wetter, and Arthur Schucht for excessive force, negligent assault, and false arrest without cause.
