Judge dismisses lawsuit alleging deputy used excessive force against 82-year-old woman
A Lancaster County district judge has dismissed a lawsuit for the second time in a case in which an 82-year-old woman said a deputy sheriff used excessive force and hurt her when he arrested her in 2012.
Judge Robert Otte said he is sensitive to Marilyn Waldron's claims against Deputy James Roark of wrongful entry and excessive force.
"The court does not condone any violation of rights by any officer of the law," he said in his order filed Friday. "However, (Waldron's) claims are balanced against other factors described."
Earlier this year, the Nebraska Supreme Court sent the case back to Otte, saying there were questions about Roark's conduct that needed to be resolved.
