Tucson man’s nightmare: cops lied, cats died
A Tucson man will get a new chance to seek financial damages from the city for an illegal search of his east side home more than a decade ago.
But he won’t be able to recover the value of the dozens of cats he had that were taken by Pima County Animal Control after the raid, most of whom later died.
In a unanimous decision Monday, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a trial judge’s ruling that the police officers were entitled to qualified immunity in obtaining a search warrant of the home of Richard Brubaker.
There have also been more than 12,000 reported positive cases.
As of this week, more than 2,200 confirmed COVID-19 cases have been reported among inmates at the Arizona State Prison on South Wilmot Road.
Vaccinations for the more than 4,600 inmates inside the Wilmot facility, and other state prisons began rolling out back in mid-March.
According to the Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Re-entry, ADCRR, as of last week, more than 22,000 vaccinations had been administered to inmates at ten state prisons.
An additional 5,000-plus vaccines have gone to inmates in private prisons.
However, it is not just inmates who have tested positive for the virus.
