The Family of a Tennessee Man Who Died During a K-9 Arrest File a Lawsuit
The family of a Tennessee man who died during an arrest involving a police K-9 has filed a lawsuit saying his constitutional rights were violated.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported that Chad William Songer, 41, died Jan. 31, 2021, shortly after two Bledsoe County sheriff’s deputies confronted him in his front yard and a police dog bit him several times, contributing to his death, according to his family’s lawsuit.
The suit was filed last month in U.S. District Court in Chattanooga against Bledsoe County government and deputies Chase Roberts and Matthew Brock.
