The widow of a New Castle County police officer will be allowed to go ahead with her lawsuit against a bath salts company.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that Kathleen Szczerba has charged that Adrenalin Rush conspired with retailers to sell the synthetic drugs knowing that they were dangerous.
Bath salts are now banned.
The News Journal reports that court records indicate that David Salasky had taken the drug before his confrontation that led to the stabbing death of Lt. Joseph Szczerba in 2011.
The company tried to get the suit thrown out but the judge refused to do so last week.
Salasky was sentenced to life in prison.
