BOSTON — The mother of Alyssa Brame, who died of alcohol poisoning while in Lowell police custody two years ago, has filed a federal civil-rights and wrongful-death lawsuit against the City of Lowell and the Lowell police officers on duty that night.

Brame’s Jan. 12, 2013, death triggered disciplinary action against five Lowell police officers and sparked claims of police brutality in the city.

In the 15-page lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court, Alice Swiridowsky-Muckle, Brame’s mother, accuses the Lowell police supervisors, police officers and detention attendants of “deliberate indifference” to Brame despite her high-level of intoxication that required medical attention.

The lawsuit, filed by attorneys Howard Friedman and Drew Glassroth, allege that if the police had provided Brame with medical attention when she first lost consciousness, “her life could have been saved.”

The lawsuit described that on the night of Jan. 12, 2013, Brame, 31, was arrested and charged with prostitution. No one disputes Brame was highly intoxicated when she was brought to the police station.

A police videotape shows several police officers carrying an intoxicated and unconscious Brame by the arms and legs to the booking room.

“Her condition deteriorated from being intoxicated to being unconscious,” Friedman wrote.

Brame’s mother acknowledges in the lawsuit that her daughter, who had moved to Lowell from Maine a few months earlier, had her demons. She struggled with alcoholism and other problems, but “she wanted to turn her life around,” according to the lawsuit.

Despite a formal written police policy requiring medical attention, Brame was placed in the cell, unresponsive but alive.

No one checked on her for 66 minutes. When someone did check on her, Brame was dead.

The cause of Brame’s death was determined to be alcohol intoxication.

Following an investigation into Brame’s death, Lowell Police Superintendent William Taylor admitted, “Ms. Brame was not given the proper medical attention that she was in obvious need of while in custody of the Lowell Police Department.”

He added that in his opinion, “some Lowell police employees displayed … conduct which could be described as deliberate indifference for Ms. Brame and that such conduct should shock the conscience of all of us.”

In addition to the City of Lowell, the lawsuit names:

* Lt. Thomas Siopes who ended a battle fighting his termination by agreeing to a 90-day suspension and nine-month reduction in rank to sergeant.

* Sgt. James Fay, who faced termination, accepted a demotion to patrolman for a year, plus a 60-day suspension.

* Sgt. Michael Giuffrida was facing a one-year unpaid suspension. He accepted a 15-day suspension.

* Sgt. Francis Nobrega, also facing a one-year suspension, accepted the same deal as Giuffrida.

* Lt. Michael Kilmartin, who was facing a demotion to patrolman plus a one-year unpaid suspension, accepted a temporary, three-month demotion to sergeant, plus a 45-day unpaid suspension.

The lawsuit also names: Officers Robert Dyer and Charles Pappaconstantinou, and detention attendants Kevin Lombard and Shawn Tetreault.

The lawsuit claims the detention attendants were not properly trained and that many police officers operated under the idea of having intoxicated people “sleep it off” in lockup.

Brame is not the first person to die in Lowell police cell while intoxicated and without receiving medical attention.

The lawsuit cites the 2007 death of Walter Scott Paine, who was intoxicated, and died in his cell. In the 1980’s Michael Eagan, was unconscious, intoxicated and suffering from a subdural hematoma when he died.
