A former Gaston County businessman now serving a decades-long prison sentence for killing two family members now faces a civil lawsuit related to property damages he caused that day.
General Casualty, a Wisconsin-based insurance company, seeks $165,425 from Roger Self for property damages caused to the Surf & Turf Lodge on May 20, 2018. General Casualty insured the restaurant at the time.
Self killed his daughter, Katelyn Self, at the time a corporal with the Gaston County Sheriff s Office, and his daughter-in-law, Amanda Self, an emergency room nursing supervisor at CaroMont Regional Medical Center, on that day by driving his Jeep SUV into the restaurant on purpose. He also injured several family members in the incident.
