In May 2020, Deputy Morris was involved in an incident where he arrested an elderly amputee for non-violent offenses. During the arrest, Deputy Morris handcuffed the individual’s right wrist to his right ankle, causing physical injuries to the back, ankle, and wrist. The court found this method of restraint unreasonable and a violation of the Fourth Amendment. However, Deputy Morris was granted qualified immunity, as the right not to be handcuffed wrist-to-ankle was not clearly established by law at the time.
