In May 2023, Officer Cody Spaulding issued a warrant for Karen Maloof’s arrest without conducting a thorough investigation. Maloof was wrongfully arrested and detained for three days due to a stolen driver’s license used by another individual. The lawsuit alleges that Spaulding failed to verify key details before submitting the probable cause affidavit, leading to Maloof’s wrongful detention.
