Ironton Police Officer who Dragged Black Man to Death Under his Car Not on Drugs

AP A southern Ohio police chief has released test results showing an officer was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol when he dragged a man beneath his police cruiser earlier this month.

Ironton Chief Jim Carey also says state investigators have completed their work on the case and will turn their findings over to the county prosecutor's office on Monday.

Carey has said Officer Richard Fouts didn't realize he'd run the man over in the snow until he arrived at the police department on March 8 and saw the body. Forty-six-year-old Guy Thomas was pronounced dead in the parking lot.

A nephew said Thomas had epilepsy and may have suffered an attack in the road.
