Mercy Health Sues Lorain City and County Over Strip Search Allegations
Mercy Health Lorain filed a federal civil rights suit against Lorain City, Lorain County, and officials claiming discriminatory and retaliatory actions after doctors refused to execute a search warrant and invasive exam on a man in police custody. Lorain officials defend the filings as untrue. The case centers on a PIT stop of Tony Harris, 31, tied to a high drug activity area, and a later strip search at the city precinct. Harris has prior convictions including tampering with evidence and cocaine offenses.

Auditor Craig Snodgrass called the jump the largest he has seen, noting a state law safeguard that backfired in Lorain County by boosting inside millage taxes despite rising values.
