‘My son didn’t have to die’: Former Saints defensive end Glenn Foster Jr. strapped to chair, stripped naked, Tased and beaten while in jail custody, lawsuit alleges

Former New Orleans Saints defensive end Glenn Foster Jr. died a “violent and entirely avoidable death” after he was strapped to a chair, stripped naked, Tased excessively and beaten following his arrest for speeding in Alabama, a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by his family alleges.

Foster, 31, died on Dec. 6, 2021, three days after he was detained in a traffic stop when his family’s lawyers said he was wrestled to the ground by law enforcement, hit his head on concrete, and then endured physical abuse once he was at the Pickens County Jail.

“My son didn’t have to die,” Sabrina Foster said during a news conference. “We, as a taxpayer society, are paying their salary, so if they murder us, we are paying them to kill us. If we’re going to pay you, you need to do right by the law.”

Attorney Benjamin Crump said Foster was subdued in handcuffs and posed no risk.
