Detective Knight – Sumter County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

On May 7, 2021, Detective Knight, along with Detective Voss, responded to a report that an individual was trespassing at The Villages-Sumter County Service Center. Knight and Voss detained the individual based on a complaint from a county official without conducting an independent investigation. The individual filed a lawsuit alleging violations of First Amendment rights and conspiracy. The court found that the detectives acted solely on the report and did not violate any First Amendment rights.
