Taos jail suit settles over Gonzales death outcomes
Taos County pays $1.25 million to Joaquin Gonzales’s two sons after a federal suit alleging misconduct at the county jail. The settlement, acceptance of management changes and apologies aim to prevent future deaths amid claims of restraint, hog-tying and lack of proper inmate care. The case highlighted officers’ actions, prior DWI and license issues, and questions about autopsy findings and new investigations.
