On November 7, 2020, Deputy Loftin conducted a traffic stop on Glen Stewart, a Black man, without probable cause. During the stop, Loftin allegedly mistook Stewart’s insurance documents for a weapon, drew his firearm, and pointed it at Stewart’s head. After Stewart drove to his home seeking a witness, Loftin, along with other officers, reportedly assaulted him by punching, tasing, and beating him. They also allegedly planted evidence in Stewart’s vehicle and falsified records. A civil rights lawsuit was filed against Loftin and others for these actions.
