JOHN W. SALTER An Honored Veteran
On 5-5-2019, John W. Salter departed from this earthly life. He was born to the late parents, Isom and Annie Mae Salter. He at- tended Marshall High School.
He was a retired truck driver of Swindle Powell.
His hobbies were hunt- ing and his favorite, “fish- ing.”
His extended living rela- tives consist of 5 children: John Salter, Jr., Gloria Salter Simpkins, Anna Salter Poole, Darvis Salter, and Flandria Salter; 3 sib- lings, Jerline Weems, Louise Love, and Linda Gail Salter; a host of grandkids, great-grands, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and 1 brother-in-law.
John’s Homegoing will be June 4, 2019, at 11 a. m., at Bay Pines National Ceme- tery, in St. Petersburg.
Milwaukee County has been ordered to pay nearly $7 million to settle a lawsuit with the family of a man who died from dehydration while in po- lice custody.
According to New York Times, Tuesday, the impres- sive settlement amount was publicly even thought it was finalized back in March and the suit was dismissed in early May.
“The size of the settlement I believe reflected the tremen- dous pain and suffering that Mr. Thomas endured for days,” said James End, a Milwaukee attorney who rep- resented the family of 38- year-old Terrill Thomas, who died in what is being characterized as “torture.”
On April 14, 2016, Thomas’ family says he was having a mental breakdown when police arrested him for shooting a man in front of his parents’ house. At the time he was suffering from bipolar disorder and was unable to be an advocate for himself in the jail or make sure he took his prescribed medication.
Despite his condition prison officials had water to his cell shut off as punish- ment after he’d flooded his previous cell by stuffing a mattress in the toilet. Prose- cutors say in addition to jail
TERRILL THOMAS
lieutenant Kashka Meadors ordering correc- tional officer James Ram- sey-Guy to turn off the water supply to Thomas’s new cell, he was also denied any drinks with his food.
His water supply was never turned back on and as a direct result he died a week later after losing 34 pounds.
“The amount of the settle- ment reflects the callous dis- regard for Terrill Thomas’s life and the magnitude of his pain and suffering,” said Erik Heipt, a Seattle-based attor- ney who also represented Thomas’ family.
“What happened to him was a form of torture,” Heipt continued. “This sort of atroc- ity should never happen at an American jail. There’s no ex- cuse for it.”
