The father of an Iowa man who was handcuffed when he toppled off a Missouri Highway Patrol boat in May is calling for the Justice Department to investigate his son’s death.
Craig Ellingson, 53, of Clive, Iowa, said Wednesday that he would be meeting with Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad to discuss getting a federal investigation into the drowning of his son Brandon Ellingson, 20, at the Lake of the Ozarks.
“Brandon is going to get justice, and I’m going keep pushing forward until he gets the justice that is due to him,” Ellingson said Wednesday in a telephone interview.
Ellingson said he thought the Missouri state trooper who arrested his son before he drowned should be fired and face criminal charges.
