Marshall family files suit in September fatal police shooting in Battle Creek
A Marshall family is suing the City of Battle Creek and Calhoun County for the fatal police shooting of a 22-year-old suspected drunk driver in September.
The family of Andrew Blowers is seeking $15.5 million in a wrongful death suit filed late Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan, Southern Division.
The federal civil wrongful death suit alleges that Blowers was killed in an unjustified use of deadly force by two officers from the Battle Creek Police Department and a deputy from the Calhoun County Sheriff Department following a pursuit which ended on Logistics Drive in the Fort Custer Industrial Park just after midnight on Sept. 5.
