In 2014, Officer Waid was named in a lawsuit alongside Officer Daugherty and the City of Sumiton. The lawsuit alleged that Waid failed to prevent the use of excessive force and participated in the unlawful arrest of individuals involved in the incident with M. McClendon. The court dismissed the claims against Waid, finding insufficient evidence of his direct involvement in the alleged misconduct.
