The family of a Florida man who died in Covington County custody after a DUI arrest has settled a federal lawsuit against the jail and three guards.
Almus Taylor was arrested on a DUI charge Nov. 16, 2013, after running his truck off a Covington County road following a day spent at a nearby hunting camp, according to court records.
Taylor would die hours later en route to a local hospital. In the lawsuit filed in 2014, Taylor s family alleged the 38-year-old exhibited medical distress symptoms and even complained of abdomen pain through the night before he began vomiting blood and emergency medical services were called.
