Denison residents call for mental health resources after officers shoot, kill man in park
The fatal shooting of a 36-year-old Denison man has left a community grieving, sparking conversations around the city's lack of mental health resources and emergency shelters. Police were first called to the city's Washington Park around 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 15. Officers encountered Feglys Antonio Campos Arriba, who reportedly became "uncooperative" and engaged in a physical altercation with an officer, according to a news release from the department. The officer was injured in the altercation and fired his weapon at Arriba, who died at the scene as a result, the release said. The officer was treated for serious injuries and later released, the department said. Arriba was homeless and battling mental health issues, said Pattie Ritchie, an activist with the League of United Latin American Citizens chapter in Denison who spoke to the Des Moines Register on behalf of Arriba's family. Arriba had some friends in the area, Ritchie said. To show support, LULAC is ready to step in and offer resources should they be needed, she said. "(Arriba) was Cubano," said Ritchie, vice president of the organization's Denison chapter. "So, we want to (reach out) to the community and say, 'Hey, we're here for everybody.' ..." Ritchie joined several other residents at the park on Aug. 17, two days after Arriba's death. While mourning, they drew attention to the challenges in finding mental health resources, emergency shelters and housing in the area. "This is such an unfortunate incident, but let's talk about homelessness," she said. "Let's talk about not having those resources and training. Focus on that. "It was an unfortunate incident, but could we at least look at those issues now?" A chair left under a tree where Arriba used to sit is now taken over by balloons, candles, flower bouquets and plush toys. Some attendees broke away from the group at the park and marched to the police department, Ritchie said. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation is investigating the shooting, the police's release also said. The Crawford County Attorney and the Iowa Attorney General's Office will also further review the incident. The officer, who has yet to be identified, is on paid administrative leave, the release said. F. Amanda Tugade covers community and faith for the Des Moines Register.

CVS unit must pay $290 million in drug whistleblower lawsuit, judge rules
A federal judge ordered CVS Health's pharmacy benefit manager unit to pay $289.9 million in damages and penalties after it overcharged Medicare for prescription drugs. In a Tuesday decision, Chief Judge Mitchell Goldberg in Philadelphia federal court tripled to $285 million the damages he had ordered CVS Caremark to pay in June, citing the federal False Claims Act. He added a $4.87 million civil fine. Goldberg rejected CVS' request to pay less, saying that while CVS Caremark was liable for only two years of overbilling, evidence at trial "made clear that the fraud was financially motivated, not the result of some innocent or mistaken belief." CVS, based in Woonsocket, said on Wednesday it plans to appeal. Last month, a Manhattan federal judge ordered CVS' Omnicare unit to pay $948.8 million in a separate whistleblower lawsuit alleging fraudulent billing. CVS plans to appeal that judgment. Goldberg presided in March over a non-jury trial in the whistleblower case brought by Sarah Behnke, a former head actuary for Medicare Part D at Aetna. She accused CVS Caremark of having caused health insurers such as Aetna to submit inflated claims since 2010 to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), while pharmacies such as Rite Aid and Walgreens WBA.O were paid less. CVS argued that the original $95 million in damages was substantial, and punitive damages should be limited to $95 million. But the judge said CVS Caremark's fraud not only financially harmed the government, but diminished public confidence in it. "CMS relies on companies like Caremark to truthfully and accurately report Part D drug prices," he wrote. "Caremark's conduct broke CMS's trust, and as a result, the public's trust in CMS." Behnke sued in 2014. CVS bought Aetna four years later. The False Claims Act lets whistleblowers sue on behalf of the government and share in recoveries, typically 15% to 30%.
