ELYRIA, Ohio — A former Lorain County Jail inmate who was beaten by a guard has received a $50,000 payout to settle a federal civil rights lawsuit.
The agreement ends the lawsuit Jordan Sand filed earlier this year over his treatment by former corrections Officer Marlon Taylor, who is awaiting sentencing in connection with the July 29, 2012, beating.
Sand was serving out the remainder of a juvenile sentence at the Lorain County Jail when he got into a confrontation with Taylor, a veteran guard, over his refusal to take antidepressant medication Taylor was helping another jail employee distribute.
