Darek Lathan, 47, is serving 17 months for a vandalism conviction at Correctional Reception Center in Orient, outside of Columbus. He was standing in line for recreation at the prison on September 17 when he told a guard he needed the restroom. Lathan warned the guard he had a cold and diarrhea as a result of taking cold showers at the prison, the Columbus Dispatch reports.
Lathan claimed he wasn’t allowed to get out of line to use a restroom, even though it was not occupied. As a result, he soiled his pants. According to the complaint, which Lathan apparently wrote himself, the accident resulted in “harassment, embarrassment, riddiculing (sic) and emotional distress.”
He asked for $2 million in damages.
