The family of a mentally ill homeless man who starved to death while he spent a year in solitary confinement awaiting trial for pointing finger guns at officers in Arkansas was awarded $6 million for his untimely death.
Larry Eugene Price Jr., who suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and had an IQ of less than 55, was arrested for pointing finger guns at police officers during a mental health episode outside the Fort Smith Police Department in Arkansas on August 19, 2020, according to a lawsuit filed by Price's estate.
