By the Associated Press and KFDI News:
A lawsuit says an Andover woman who was shot and killed by a sheriff’s deputy after refusing to pull over was unarmed and posed no danger to him or the public.
The federal court filing Tuesday paints a different picture to that recounted by authorities following the fatal shooting in Wichita of 51-year-old Debra Arbuckle by Sedgwick County Deputy Kaleb Dailey on Dec. 30, 2019. She was shot after an early morning chase that ended near Webb Road and Mt. Vernon. Officials said at the time that Arbuckle’s car went into reverse and sped toward deputies, and that’s when the deputy fired several shots.
An attorney representing Arbuckle’s family says multiple law enforcement videos show the deputy and his colleagues were not in any danger when he killed her. The lawsuit, filed by Arbuckle’s son, seeks unspecified general and punitive damages.
