Northampton County Settles Cigarettes-Related Prison Beating Lawsuit

Northampton County has settled a lawsuit by a former prison inmate who claims he was assaulted by cigarettes-dealing inmates with the help of a prison guard, federal court records say.

The county will pay Aristotle Tarboro $105,000 to end the litigation, according to a copy of the settlement. Neither the county nor the prison officials named in the suit admit any wrongdoing by settling the case, records say.

The settlement was reached Monday as both sides prepared for trial slated for Aug. 1, records say.

Tarboro's attorney, William Riback, did not wish to comment on the settlement. Attorneys for the county did not immediately respond to e-mail seeking comment.

County Executive John Stoffa said Tarboro had been asking for a sizable amount of money in the lawsuit.

"I never like to see settlements that cost the taxpayers money," Stoffa said. "We've basically cut our losses in this situation."

Stoffa said the county will pay $25,000 and the rest will be covered by insurance. Stoffa said the prison guards involved in this case no longer work for the prison.

Tarboro filed the suit last year, which details two separate attacks on him. During one of the attacks a guard, identified as James Boehm, electronically opened Tarboro's cell to let in other prisoners, who assaulted Tarboro, records say.

The assault stems from a cigarettes-dealing incident, records say. Tarboro saw two inmates dealing discount cigarettes in his cell and asked them to leave, which they did, but then they later returned, records say.

Boehm, who was initially identified as Jim Bean, allegedly opened the cell to the inmates and a fight ensued.

Tarboro said he was left bleeding in the cell for an hour and a half, and he lost two teeth, received six stitches, permanent scarring and recurring headaches.

Tarboro claims Boehm threatened to take away Tarboro's parole if he reported the fight, then Boehm and the attackers offered Tarboro a pouch of cigarettes, according to the suit.

Another inmate, John J. Mucha, filed a lawsuit similar to Tarboro's, but that one is still pending, records say. Mucha's suit claims Boehm was helping inmates who ran a "cigarettes gang." Boehm was suspended for his involvement in "illicit and organized cheap cigarettes distribution" in the prison, according to the lawsuit.

Boehm resigned as a guard in February 2009, Stoffa previously said.
