In March 2020, Deputy McWhorter was named in a lawsuit alleging excessive force during an arrest. The plaintiff claimed that Deputy McWhorter engaged in an unprovoked beating, resulting in significant injuries. The lawsuit also included claims of denial of medical care for the injuries sustained during the arrest. The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. The court examined the allegations and considered the statute of limitations, ultimately determining that the claims were time-barred as they were filed more than two years after the incident occurred. The case citation is Yauger v. Greene County Sheriff’s Office, No. 7:22-cv-1080-CLM-SGC (N.D. Ala. 2022).
