CASE №00066
NAME: Brian Waldron
COUNTRY: USA
RIGHTS VIOLATION: Police arbitrariness
YEAR: 2021
CASE INFORMATION:

On August 10, 2019, Brian Cody Waldron, 20, was found dead of an overdose after being released from police custody in New Milford, Connecticut.

Waldron was brought to a hospital emergency room by his fiancé and her step-father, Norman Abair, while Waldron was “high on heroin.” While at the hospital, Abair reported the situation to the police.

Two officers came to the hospital to arrest Waldron and transport him back to the station. After Waldron was put in a jail cell, he continued to act erratically and several times told that he wanted to jump off a bridge. Less than 30 minutes later Waldron was released from police custody and was found dead of an overdose about eight hours later.

In April 2021 Waldron’s mother has formally sued the town and three employees of the local police department in relation to her son’s death, claiming negligence, carelessness, and improper prisoner security and welfare procedure.

In July 2021, Morrissey and his wife, Tracey, founded the organization now called Brian Cody’s Brothers & Sisters Foundation after their 20-year-old son Brian Cody Waldron overdosed in 2019. Their organization has a website and resources to help navigate the treatment and recovery process.
