Claim Filed After North Idaho Police Use Stun Gun

LEWISTON, Idaho (AP) — The mother of an 18-month-old girl who was allegedly injured during an incident with Lewiston police officers seeks $1 million from the city.

The attorney who filed the tort claim tells the Lewiston Tribune that the toddler suffered a fractured skull and other injuries when her father landed on her after officers used a stun gun to subdue him Nov. 8.

The claim alleges negligence and recklessness on the part of Lewiston officers. Lewiston City Clerk Kari Ravencroft says the city's insurance carrier will look into the validity of the claim.
