Jailing

Mr. Williams was arrested by Owasso police in the lobby of a Marriott hotel for misdemeanor obstruction of a police officer.[4][5]

While Williams was in his cell, incapacitated, food and water were brought to him but he was unable to reach them; jail officials taunted him and accused him of faking his injuries.[6]

Aftermath

In December 2011, Mr. Earl and Mrs. Katha Williams, the parents of the deceased, sued the city of Owasso for records related to the arrest of their son;[7] the suit was predicated on a violation of Oklahoma's [https://www.okc.gov/departments/city-clerk/records-request-form/open-records-act Open Records Act]. Ms. Elia Lara-Williams, wife of the late Mr. Williams, filed suit against Sheriff Stanley Glanz and the medical staff of the Tulsa County jail.

Civil Lawsuit

In July 2016, U.S. District Judge John Dowdell ruled that a federal civil rights lawsuit against former Sheriff Stanley Glanz and Tulsa County officials could proceed.[8] In February 2017, defense attorneys for Sheriff Vic Regalado and Mr. Glanz filed a motion accusing Judge Dowell of failing to disclose a conflict of interest,[9] which Judge Dowell subsequently denied.[10]

In March 2017, Judge Dowell ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, requiring Tulsa County and former Sheriff Stanley Glanz to pay $10.2 million and $250,000, respectively, to the Estate of Mr. Elliott Williams.[11]
