Dustin Theoharis, Man Shot 16 Times, Files $20 Million Suit Against State Department Of Corrections
Posted in: Today's ChiliAn unarmed Washington state man who was shot 16 times by law enforcement last year has filed a $20 million lawsuit against the Department of Corrections.
In February 2012, police executed a search warrant on the Auburn home where Dustin Theoharis was renting a basement room. Officers were looking for different man — a convicted felon who had violated parole — and after successfully apprehending him proceeded to search the home for firearms, according to KING 5.
A King County sheriff’s deputy and a Washington State corrections officer reportedly found Theoharis in bed and opened fire on him after he reached for what they thought was a gun.
