Written by In July 2017, Deputy Patterson, along with Deputies Melita and Bradley, entered the property of Plaintiff O’Keefe without a warrant during a criminal investigation. Despite O’Keefe’s explicit requests for them to leave, the deputies remained on the property, leading to allegations of unlawful search and seizure. O’Keefe filed a lawsuit against the deputies and the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office, claiming violations of his Fourth Amendment rights. The case highlighted concerns over the deputies’ adherence to constitutional protections during investigations. ([casetext.com](https://casetext.com/case/okeefe-v-patterson?utm_source=openai))
