FEDERAL JURY ISSUES VERDICT IN FAVOR OF DEFENDANT, A FORMER TAWAS POLICE AUTHORITY OFFICER.

Published: August 11, 2011

On August 11, 2011, a federal court jury vindicated the actions of a former Tawas Police Authority police officer who prepared a warrant affidavit for Plaintiff’s arrest based on probable cause that Plaintiff made a false bomb threat call. Plaintiff brought the lawsuit alleging that there was no probable cause and that the officer lied or omitted information from the warrant affidavit for purposes of misleading the prosecutor and trial court and claimed violations of the First and Fourth Amendments. The Defendant officer was represented by McGraw Morris P.C. attorney G. Gus Morris. The jury issued a complete defense verdict and rejected all of Plaintiff’s allegations. In particular, the jury determined that the warrant affidavit contained no false or misleading information that would substantiate any of Plaintiff’s claims.
