MONROE - A civil case aimed at local and state government agencies in the alleged wrongful death of a Monroe teen who died while incarcerated at the Green County Jail was moved forward 30 days so the teen's biological father can retain an attorney.
Troy Allen Peotter is the biological father of Kyle Peotter, 17, who died on Jan. 30, 2013 while incarcerated at the Green County Jail due to an apparent methadone overdose. Kyle Peotter was under the guardianship of his mother and stepfather, Amber and Michael DeGraff, before Kyle Peotter was jailed.
Troy Peotter spoke with attorney Joe Pecora, who in turn plans to have a different attorney represent Troy Peotter. Troy Peotter has been incarcerated at New Castle Correctional Facility in Indiana since a 2010 conviction of incest and sexual misconduct with a minor. Pecora told Madison attorney Jeff Scott Olson about the case, who expressed an interest in representing Troy Peotter.
Troy Peotter could be entitled to any monies won in the case if judgment decides to award the original plaintiffs, the DeGraffs. The suit was filed last March, months after Kyle Peotter was found unresponsive in the jail.
Kyle Peotter was found not breathing in his cell bed and pronounced dead at the jail due to an apparent overdose of a drug used to treat severe chronic pain and heroin dependence.
Peotter had been in jail for five months before he died, jailed in September 2012 following an arrest for felony charges of vehicle theft and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. His arrest came after a number of run-ins with Monroe police for minor infractions like drawing graffiti, being disorderly and trespassing.
The case has been held up from proceeding due to an ongoing John Doe investigation that has been kept secret to protect witnesses and the detective investigating, who has taken an oath of secrecy.
A telephone conference hearing was set for Dec. 9.
