United States Seventh Circuit


Cyrus v. Town of Mukwonago, 09-2331

In plaintiffs' 42 U.S.C. section 1983 suit against a town, a lieutenant, and other defendants, claiming that their son's death was caused by the use of excessive force in violation of the Fourth Amendment, district court's grant of defendants' motion for summary judgment is reversed as there are material facts in dispute about the extent to which the deceased attempted to evade the officers and the how many times the officer tasered the deceased to bring about his arrest.
