As motions pile up urging a federal court to put to rest a lawsuit over the death of a Black teen in the custody of Eastern Shore police officers, a former Pocomoke City official has been added to the legal battle’s laundry list of defendants.
Anton Black, 19, died after a September 2018 encounter with police officers in the Caroline County town of Greensboro, Maryland.
What began as a 911 call reporting that Anton Black was pulling a child down the road with him ended with him unresponsive after at least three officers and a civilian restrained him outside his mother s trailer.
