A Bureau of Indian Affairs police officer who helped a Fort Thompson man who had fallen in the middle of a road is not responsible for his eventual death, a federal judge has ruled.

Candace Bishop sued the United States as the personal representative to the estate of her husband, Charles Bishop. She alleged that Derek Parish, a BIA officer with the Crow Creek Agency, was negligent in Charles Bishop’s death. She also alleged that Parish might have caused Bishop’s injuries through misconduct.
