The family of Linda Hicks, who was fatally shot by a Toledo police officer last December, is suing several parties over her death.

The 62 year old woman was living in an adult group home. She was schizophrenic and became agitated when she did not take her medication and had a pair of scissors. Her caretaker then called 9-1-1. When the police arrived they tasered her she became more agitated and lunged with the scissors. This is when Officer Diane Chandler fatally shot Linda Hicks. Family members say Chandler did not need to use deadly force.

Charles Boyk said, “The Toledo Police has special crisis intervention police officers. Those people were not dispatched to the scene. That’s our issue.”

The defendants in this case are the City of Toledo for violation of civil rights and wrongful death; the Toledo Police Department for violation of civil rights and wrongful death; Officer Diane Chandler, in her individual capacity for violation of civil rights, gross negligence, assault, battery and wrongful death; and Marria’s Adult Family Home for negligence and wrongful death.

The widower of an 81 year old woman is suing Comcast, the telephone company.

Last Thanksgiving Sidell Reiner was making dinner while her husband went to the airport to pick their grandchildren. Mrs Reiner dropped a wine glass on her foot causing a severe cut. She called the operator, but the dispatchers could not find her address. She called back several times for help before crews arrived seventeen minutes later.

When the fire and rescue crews showed up to her house she had lost so much blood she was unable to answer the door. Since she did not answer the door the rescue crews left. They did not even look through the windows because if they had they would have seen Mrs. Reiner on the floor right in front of a large window pane.

When her husband, Seymour Reiner, got home he found his wife dead on the floor. She died from a severed artery in her foot. Along with Comcast MR. Reiner plans to sue the city of Boynton Beach, which is the district that Comcast transferred the call.
