Federal lawsuit dropped over inmates death at Wyandotte County jail, blaming staff for Charles Adairs asphyxiation during a prone restraint. Adair, in custody for minor traffic warrants, showed signs of mental health struggles but received no proper care. The lawsuit also highlights poor training on force and restraints, and alleges the sheriff and government ignored risks. Deputy Richard Fatherly Junior faces second-degree murder charges and is accused of using work email to contact witnesses and staff, breaking policy.
