FAMILY FILES SUIT OVER MAN'S DEATH IN CUSTODY

A wrongful death suit has been filed by the family of a Bakersfield
man who died in police custody.

Experts who reviewed the case for the city said Ricky Ochoa, 24, died
from a cocaine overdose and self-inflected wounds. His family says
officers used excessive force to restrain him and failed to provide
him with medical attention.

Ochoa died at Kern Medical Center after being subdued by police with
the help of two jolts from an electric-shock Taser gun.
