MUSKEGON COUNTY, MI – The family of an inmate whose death at the Muskegon County Jail led to manslaughter charges against four deputies and a nurse has agreed to settle a lawsuit against the county, court records show.
The family of Paul Bulthouse, 39, contended that authorities covered up the circumstances of his April 4, 2019, death.
Muskegon County Board of Commissioners has not been presented with a proposed settlement, County Administrator Mark Eisenbarth said.
Commissioners would have to review and approve any settlement.
