Another lawsuit has been filed in the case of a man who was shot to
death by a sheriff's deputy during a traffic stop - this time by the
three people who were riding with the victim. Warren Beaulah, Anthony
Smith and Daryl Ransom claim in the $3.5 million suit against the city
of Columbus and the Muscogee County sheriff that their constitutional
rights were violated when they were handcuffed, searched and held for
several hours. Five deputies also are named in the suit, which was
filed Monday in federal court. Police were looking for guns and drugs
the night they stopped a vehicle carrying the three men and Kenneth
Walker, who was shot to death by Deputy David Glisson. No weapons or
drugs were found. [more]
