Tom Bosenko – Shasta County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Former Sheriff Tom Bosenko was named in a federal lawsuit alleging that Shasta County Jail deputies repeatedly beat inmate John Adena, leading to his death in September 2019. The lawsuit claims that Bosenko and jail leadership were aware of the excessive force and deliberate indifference to Adena’s medical needs but failed to take corrective action.
