In 2015, Officer Blackman was involved in an incident where he allegedly used excessive force during a traffic stop. The plaintiff, Mr. Bartley, claimed that Officer Blackman body-slammed him against the trunk of his car and applied handcuffs too tightly, causing injury. The case raised questions about the use of force and public official immunity. ([casetext.com](https://casetext.com/case/bartley-v-city-of-high-point-3?utm_source=openai))
