McQuacy K. Goodridge, 31, claims he nearly died of a pulmonary embolism he developed while being held at the Morris County Jail, according to a lawsuit.

, 31, claims he tore a tendon in his right knee on May 4, 2021, when another man being held in the jail threw water at him, causing him to slip and fall, according to the suit filed last month in Superior Court of Morris County.

Goodridge was taken to Morristown Medical Center, where a doctor performed a patellar tendon repair surgery. He was prescribed two weeks of blood-thinning medication and physical therapy, the suit says.
