Richard Stringer – Washington County Sheriff’s Department

Written by CBKN76

In June 2022, Sheriff Richard Stringer was named in a federal lawsuit following the death of Robert Harris, a former Mobile police officer, in the Washington County Jail. The lawsuit alleges that Harris was strapped to a chair and beaten by detainees under the direction of a detention officer, and was denied medical attention, leading to his death on June 15, 2022. The suit also highlights inhumane conditions at the overcrowded and understaffed jail.
