Ex RHOC's Lauri Peterson's son sues Orange County jail as he says he could have been killed during razor blade attack

REAL Housewives of Orange County star Lauri Peterson's son is suing over a fight when he was in jail.

Josh Waring says he was almost killed and filed a lawsuit on Monday, according to TMZ.

Waring claims that guards inside the jail told him a razor blade attack against him in October 2019, was retaliation for prior complaints Josh made about sheriff's deputies, reports the website.

He's filed the suit against Orange County and two OC Sheriff's deputies assigned to the Orange County men's central jail in Santa Ana, California.

Another inmate wielded razor blades wrapped in towels and waited in ambush, which Josh claims guards let it happen because he complained about his case, says TMZ.

Josh was arrested in 2016 and charged with three counts of attempted murder in connection to a shooting in Costa Mesa, California, during which one man was shot but survived.

He remained in custody for four years while awaiting trial, and both he and Lauri maintained his innocence throughout that time.

He was released in March, after he pled guilty to lesser charges in exchange for his release.

“Josh’s ordeal in jail nearly broke his spirit,” Josh’s attorney Joel Garson said in a statement to People. “We are grateful the prosecution team was able to carefully consider all of the problems it had with the case, as well as the equities in favor of Josh and offer us a plea deal that got Josh out immediately.”

He plead guilty to counts of evading a peace officer, assault with a firearm, hit-and-run with property damage and battery, reported by TMZ.

Josh is parent to one daughter, Kennady, who Lauri adopted back in 2015.
