The family of a Maquoketa man who died while struggling with police in June is consulting with an attorney to press the city for answers. Dave O’Brien, who is representing the family of 22-year-old Drew Edwards, said authorities have not been forthcoming about the incident and have withheld videos and other records despite the case being closed. O’Brien said arresting officers might have used excessive force June 15th by repeatedly shocking Edwards with stun guns, while knowing from earlier encounters with Edwards that he was particularly susceptible to harm from shocking devices.
