Deputy James Hardison – Benton County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Deputy James Hardison was involved in a lawsuit stemming from a 2011 search warrant execution. During the operation, Hardison entered a residence, pointed his gun at a young girl using a computer, and ordered her to the ground. He then handcuffed her and proceeded to detain other occupants in a similar manner. The lawsuit alleged that the officers used excessive force and violated the residents’ constitutional rights during the search.
