OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Glenn Foster Jr., 31, a former NFL defensive end for the New Orleans Saints, was arrested in Reform, Alabama, on December 4, 2021, following a high-speed chase. Initially charged with reckless endangerment and resisting arrest, Foster's charges were later updated after an alleged altercation with another inmate. A judge ordered a mental evaluation for Foster, but before it could be conducted, he died in custody on December 6, 2021. Allegations have surfaced that Foster was beaten, tasered, and strangled while in jail. His family has filed a lawsuit claiming excessive force and failure to intervene by jail staff, and investigations into the incident remain ongoing.
