Louisville attorney Garry Adams has filed a wrongful death suit on behalf of the Estate of Larry Noles claiming his death was caused by the use of a Taser. In addition to suing the two police officers, the suit names Louisville Metro and Thorntons as defendants (since they were in uniform working as security guards for the business).
As of this posting, the complaint has not made it to the federal "pacer" web site, and we will update it accordingly.

The estate of a man who died in September 2006 after he was shot with a Taser sued two police officers and the Louisville Metro government, saying he was naked and posed no threat to police or the public. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court on behalf of the survivors of Larry Noles, alleges that officers Michael Campbell and Matthew Metzler were not properly trained in using the Taser or in dealing with people who are mentally ill.
