The family of a 75-year-old man who died days after an Oregon sheriff’s deputy allegedly broke his ribs and punctured his lung over a dispute about the man’s backyard barbecue has filed a $3.85 million lawsuit.

The suit faults Benton County Sheriff’s Deputy James “David” Young for pushing Dennis Sachet, whom the suit says was 5 feet, 4 inches tall and 124 pounds, against a car and then pinning him to the ground after a neighbor called in a complaint that Sachet was violating a summer burn ban.
