False arrest lawsuit filed against Anderson County, sheriff, deputies




CLINTON — Anderson County, Sheriff Paul White and four deputies have been named in a Circuit Court lawsuit that alleges assault and battery and false arrest in what’s described as a case of mistaken identity.
But Herbert S. Moncier and Houston S. Havasy, the Knoxville attorneys for Anderson County resident Carlen Reeves, omitted a key component of their complaint — the date of the alleged incident.
Reeves was injured on Sept. 13, 2013, during the episode, acquaintance Ralph Martin said.
According to the lawsuit, Reeves was a passenger in a vehicle driven by Randy Craig on Highway “61 and 62” in Anderson County when four deputies “activated their emergency equipment” and required Craig to pull over.
The deputies ordered the two men out of the vehicle and told them to raise their hands and “walk backwards towards their voice,” according to the complaint.
While guns were pointed at him, Reeves was ordered to “go down on his knees with his hands raised,” it continues. Reeves fell while doing so, “heard a loud pop and experienced a sharp pain in his left knee.”
Reeves was left kneeling on the roadside for some five minutes before he was placed in the back of squad car where the seat was pushed against his knee for another 10 to 15 minutes, according to the complaint.
The deputies “then explained the arrest was a mistake” and released Reeves and Craig, it states.
As a result of the incident, Reeves had to undergo knee surgery and physical therapy, according to the lawsuit, which seeks a jury trial and compensatory damages.
Deputies named in the complaint are Kenny Bradley, Rick Coley, Josh Zisman and Steve Abner. The legal action was filed Monday.
