In November 2015, Deputy Collier conducted warrantless inspections of ‘The Pig,’ a business owned by Fuqua, where he observed firearms. These inspections led to a search warrant and Fuqua’s arrest for firearm possession. However, the court suppressed the evidence, ruling Collier’s searches violated the Fourth Amendment. Fuqua subsequently filed a lawsuit against Collier and others for unlawful search and false imprisonment.
