Walker loses suit over sheriff's dept failure to detain Walker
Mercer County verdict finds no liability as Teressa Dell Walker, claiming police should have detained her for a mental hygiene hearing after family reports, failed to prove the sheriff's department's duty to pick her up would have prevented the fatal crash on Interstate 77 and U S Route 460 that killed Robert Edward Webb of Florida. The three day trial in circuit court before Judge David Knight also heard testimony about staff shortages and a single deputy available that night. State and county officials argued operational limits and timing affected response before the Aug. 9, 1994 crash.
