Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ epileptic nephew suffered a
massive seizure after being beaten and hit with a stun gun during a
scuffle at a New Orleans area hospital, his family said.
Derek
Thomas, 25, was admitted to West Jefferson Hospital on Thursday
after what some news outlets described as a possible suicide
attempt. When orderlies asked Thomas to put on a hospital gown, he
refused and tried to flee the facility. That’s when security
guards stepped in, and a scuffle ensued. Details were reported by
several news agencies.
He sees dreadlocks. He sees a young black
man. He asked me that, thinking that, you know… I said, “I’m
from college.”A hospital spokeswoman told several news outlets
that officials are investigating the matter, but that they’re
unlikely to be able to release details because of patient privacy
laws.
