Deputy Elkins – Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office[2]

Written by CBKN76

Deputy Elkins, serving as a supervisor, was present during the January 2020 arrest of Mr. Reynolds. He allegedly failed to intervene while Deputy Woodall tased Mr. Reynolds, who was compliant and non-threatening. The court determined that there were sufficient facts to allege that Deputy Elkins knew of the unconstitutional use of force by his subordinates and failed to stop it, leading to a lawsuit against him for supervisory liability.
