In October 2016, Deputy Randall Teutschmann, along with Deputies Bradley Gilbert and Scott Ellefson, conducted a warrantless entry and search of Michael Mason’s residence. The search led to the discovery of a marijuana grow operation, resulting in felony drug charges against Mason. However, the court ruled the initial entry violated the Fourth Amendment, leading to the suppression of evidence and dismissal of charges. Mason subsequently filed a civil rights lawsuit against the deputies and Green County, alleging constitutional violations. The court denied the deputies’ motion for summary judgment, allowing the case to proceed. The outcome of the lawsuit is not specified in the available information.
