FAMILY OF MAN KILLED IN DRUG RAID SUES SHERIFF

The Jerome County Sheriff's Office has been sued by the family of a man who
was killed in a drug raid shootout.

Tim Williams shot and killed two sheriff's deputies - James Moulson and
Phillip Anderson - before he was killed by police.

The civil suit, filed in federal court by Williams' family members, accuses
Sheriff Jim Weaver, Undersheriff Jocelyn Roberts, and Jerome County of
negligence, excessive force, and recklessness.

The family says Weaver used an unreliable informant to get the information
that led to the drug raid and that the camouflage worn by deputies during
the raid didn't identify them as members of law enforcement.

The family also alleges that after Williams was already on the ground,
Roberts approached him and fired another shot at point-blank range.
