The family of a Sisseton man who killed himself during his 2006 arrest is suing the federal government for wrongful death.
A Bureau of Indian Affairs officer arrested 20-year-old Kenneth Block at his home in April 2006, according to the complaint. The police officer allowed Block, who was told he was being arrested on a felony warrant, to go back into his house on his own.
Block shot and killed himself while the officer waited in his car, the complaint states. The family is seeking $2 million.
