A federal lawsuit has been filed in Tennessee by the daughter of a man who died while in jail custody in May 2020, according to the complaint.
In the complaint filed in October 2020 and amended in February 2021, Dominique Jennette alleges her father, William Jennette, 48, died as a result of "savage beating, suffocation" while in custody at the Marshall County Jail. She is seeking unspecified punitive damages. The complaint names four deputies from the Marshall County Sheriff's Office, three police officers from the Lewisburg Police Department, Marshall County, and the City of Lewisburg as defendants.More Related News
