Summit County has settled a civil suit over the death of a prisoner for nearly $900,000, over the objections of Sheriff Drew Alexander. Mark McCullaugh died three years ago during a confrontation with deputies in the jail's mental health unit. He was beaten, tazed, and pepper sprayed. Sheriff Alexander says, while the situation was tragic, his deputies did nothing wrong ans he believes McCullaugh should not have been in the jail. Morgan Marucco and Dan Nawrocki reports.
