Buntin in his official capacity and personally as being responsible for the actions of his officers. Mannion is being sued because, the court papers contend, “it was his actions while having the deceased under his custody which contributed" to Corbin's death.
Rescue squadsman Frank Huff of Flint Hill was the first person to reach the accident, driving his own car instead of the rescue vehicle. Huff said on Monday that he immediately asked Corbin if he would go to the hospital. Corbin refused, according to the rescue squadsman.
“We’ve never forced anyone to go to the hospital in all the years (squads have been operating) in the county," Huff explained. “They go on their own (accord) or else we leave them there," he said.
Huff reported that Corbin was taken from his truck to a State Police patrol car by state trooper Harry Newlin. "He's the man that did the arresting," said Huff, adding that Corbin was put under arrest only after he refused to go to the hospital.
Contacted on Monday, attorney Dwoskin said that Newlin was not named in the suit because "the state did not have custody." Dwoskin, who has previously represented members of the Corbin family, noted in addition that it is difficult to sue the state.
Asked why Buntin was named personally in the suit when the Sheriff was out of the county on vacation when the accident occurred Dwoskin maintained that, as head of the department, Buntin bore the responsibility for the conduct of his subordinates. The attorney added that Buntin may well be dropped from the suit at a later date.
