CLARKSVILLE â The family of a former Red River County Jail inmate has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the county in federal court this month, alleging the jail failed to provide proper care.
The inmateâs mother, Kathy Cabler, alleges in the motion the jail staffâs failure to follow proper procedures for inmates exhibiting self harm tendencies and medical neglect led to Chris Cablerâs death during his incarceration in May of 2019.
âWe canât release any information in regards to that situation,â Red River County Chief Deputy Michael Pace said.
The county is represented by the law office of David Iglesias in Tyler. Iglesias added it is standard practice to not comment on ongoing litigation. The motion was filed in the U.S. District Court Eastern District of Texas in Texarkana and assigned to District Judge Robert W. Shroeder III.
