Texas police officer ordered to pay $6.3 million to family of Iowa man who died in custody
The family of an Iowan who died nearly four years ago while being forcibly arrested by an off-duty Texas police officer has been awarded $6.3 million by a federal judge.
William Livezey Jr., 70, died from a heart attack he suffered while in handcuffs on the side of a highway in Malakoff, Texas, on Dec. 11, 2013.
Early this month, a federal judge ordered former police officer Ernesto Fierro, who was forced to surrender his Texas peace officer's license because of the incident, to pay a judgment to Livezey's wife and four adult children.
The Iowans filed a lawsuit against Fierro, his police chief and the city of Malakoff, Texas, in April 2014 claiming excessive force and unlawful arrest. The city and Chief Billy Mitchell were later dropped from the lawsuit.
Fierro will be solely responsible for paying the judgment.
