Lewiston police chief sues Home Depot

A $200,000 personal injury lawsuit filed by a top city of Lewiston official against a national big-box store was moved from Lewiston’s 2nd District Court to Idaho’s U.S. District Court at the request of the defendants.

Lewiston Police Chief Chris Ankeny filed the lawsuit in October in Lewiston’s 2nd District Court against Home Depot for an injury he sustained while climbing on a shelf in March that allegedly collapsed under his weight, causing him to fall to the concrete floor of the garage at his Lewiston home. The fall caused him to break bones in his lower arm and back, according to the lawsuit/ Ralph Bartholdt , Lewiston Tribune. More here.
