CROWN POINT â A defense attorney said Tuesday he is considering filing a motion to bring the Lake County sheriff before the court to testify about why sheriff's police arrested his client against medical advice and disconnected medical equipment from the man before an arrest warrant was valid.
Darren Taylor, who failed to show up June 21 for his trial on charges he murdered a Gary woman and her teenage son, was being treated at Community Hospital for an undisclosed medical condition when sheriff's police arrested him, attorney Russell Brown said.
Taylor was held at the Lake County Jail until June 30, when Lake Criminal Court Judge Diane Boswell ordered him released back to house arrest.
