Student In Coma After Being Tased [View all]
BASTROP, Texas (KXAN) - The family of the high school student who was tased by a school resource officer last week has filed a suit against the Bastrop school district, their lawyer said Monday.
Adam Loewy said he will outline the details of the lawsuit filed in federal court in Austin at a news conference later in the morning.
In the court filing, the suit says the officer used unnecessary force against Noe Nino de Rivera, 17. The suit also alleges that the the teen's rights were violated. The suit seeks monetary damages, lawyer fees and related expenses.
Meanwhile, the Bastrop County Sheriff's Office is asking the Texas Rangers to look into last week's use of a stun gun on a high school student by a school resource officer.
The office said Monday that it wants an independent investigation into the incident that happened Nov. 20 at Cedar Creek High School. After Noe Nino de Rivera was stunned, he fell and hit his head and has remained in a coma."
