The Snyder County Jail in Penn Township, shown Friday, is the subject of a federal lawsuit filed by the parents of a Beavertown man who say their son was killed by either guards or other inmates in April 2007.

No evidence inmate murdered, district attorney says

Coroner reported Beaver Springs man found hanging by bedsheet

By Marcia Moore

Sholley would not confirm whether Dock was cooperating with police on an investigation into a "prolific" drug-trafficking inside the prison.

Dock's alleged informant status was the reason he was killed, the lawsuit alleges.

Although there were two arrests involving women providing contraband to inmates inside the jail during that period and inmates possessing illegal drugs is always a problem, Sholley said he's not aware of a rampant drug trafficking issue at the jail.

At the time of his death, Dock was in jail on a parole violation for a prior burglary. He was being held in segregated housing due to his alleged cooperation on the drug case.

Defendants are Snyder County, Warden Ruth Rush, Deputy Warden Donald Reade, watch commander Donald Campbell and Selinsgrove state police trooper Rick Blair.
