Captain Mike O’Bryant was also named in Patton’s lawsuit, with allegations similar to those against Scott Hassell. The complaint claimed that O’Bryant failed to discipline Officer Shadwrick after the internal investigation into the assault on Patton, thereby ratifying Shadwrick’s conduct. The court dismissed the claims against O’Bryant, determining that the allegations did not meet the necessary legal standards to hold him liable.
