One of the lawsuits surrounding a 2019 officer-involved shooting that left an Eau Claire County man dead has been dismissed.
A federal judge yesterday tossed the excessive force lawsuit connected to Tyler Meier’s death. Police say he attacked an Augusta police officer, and the officer shot and killed him in self defense. Meier’s family claimed excessive force. Meier’s family continues to move ahead with a wrongful death suit in Eau Claire County court.
