In 2008, Sheriff Wally Olson was involved in a lawsuit alleging false arrest, false detention, and malicious prosecution of Fred and Garret Daniels. The plaintiffs claimed they were arrested and detained without probable cause, and subjected to unconstitutional conditions during pretrial detention. The court documents detail various complaints about the jail conditions under Sheriff Olson’s supervision, including inadequate training of jail personnel and poor treatment of inmates. The case was Daniels et al v. City of Hartford, Alabama et al, No. 1:2008cv00668.
