The woman, Bridgete Boyd, claims she was defamed and the subject of malicious prosecution.
She named Deputy Mark Goad as the defendant in the federal filing.
According to the suit Boyd claims when she pulled her smoking car to the side of the road she was approached by Deputy Goad and given a ticket for her vehicle.
Boyd says when she got into an argument with the deputy he arrested her.
The woman says as a result of her arrest her blood pressure shot up and she had to be taken to the hospital.
Boyd's lawsuit claims even after she was discharged from the emergency room Deputy Goad arrested her again.
She says when she was being transported to the county jail the deputy forced her to listen to Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
Boyd says it was tough because Limbaugh made derogatory racial remarks about Black people.
Just a footnote: A judge dismissed plaintiff's charges due to lack of probable cause after she was booked into jail.
Yea, I don't think she has the ability to tell the officer to change his radio station.
ReplyDeleteThe cop was going to give her a ticket, she got upset and started yelling at the cop (the details of which we don't know). Something then made the officer arrest her (disorderly conduct I assume??), she gets stressed out and goes to the hospital.
Then when she got out of the hospital she went downtown (the "2nd" arrest, I assume, which really was not a "2nd" arrest) and enroute the officer listened to what he wanted to listen to on the radio.
If he were preaching hate speech against black people, wouldn't the FCC swing in pretty quick to end that? I think we all remember the Imus incident.
Yea - she sounds entitled and like a spoiled brat.
