The halo immobilizing Carl Foster’s neck after surgery to stabilize damage caused by two Coquille police officers during a January 12, 2008 incident has been removed. Kaycee Faught confirms that Foster is rid of the cumbersome hardware and now has a neck support. Lately he has been sitting up in a chair, hospital staff have taken him outside for brief outings and he has had some additional surgery relating to his injuries.
