Jefferson County settles lawsuit regarding county jail strip-search procedures

WATERTOWN — Jefferson County has agreed to settle a legal case regarding treatment of new inmates at the county jail.
In the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Albany in 2017, the plaintiff Brad Nourse alleged that he was mistreated when he was taken into custody at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building.
Mr. Nourse was arrested on a bench warrant after missing a court date in the town of LeRay regarding a charge of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. According to the complaint, when he was taken into custody at the jail, he was taken to a side room and immediately ordered to strip in front of a corrections officer.
