In 2014, Deputy Jason Weber recruited Andrew Sadek, a 20-year-old college student, to work as a confidential informant for drug investigations. Sadek’s body was found in the Red River in June 2014 with a gunshot wound to the head and a backpack filled with rocks. His parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit in 2016, alleging that Weber and the Richland County Sheriff’s Department were negligent and misled their son into becoming an informant. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2019, with the court ruling that the defendants were immune from being sued and did nothing wrong.
