Lancaster attorneys recently filed a lawsuit for the family of a local man after he was accidentally electrocuted while in the custody of Lancaster immigration officials. The man was detained after a traffic violation alerted officers to a previous armed robbery conviction, a deportable offense. While on work duty, his jackhammer struck an underground electricity line and he was electrocuted. His family alleges that officials were negligent in their training and supervision, and failed to properly investigate underground utility lines before drilling.
