In July 2013, Officer Royce Clack was involved in an incident where he and another officer responded to a harassment call and subsequently shot and killed a resident’s dog named ‘T.’ The dog’s owner, David Royal Lee, filed a lawsuit alleging that Clack and his colleague fired at his dogs without provocation and refused to provide aid to the wounded animal. The lawsuit also claimed that Clack unlawfully detained Lee when he attempted to seek medical attention for his dog. The case was eventually dismissed by the court.

On July 1, 2013, Officer Royce Clack, along with Officer Robert Giglio, responded to a call at David Royal Lee’s residence. After Giglio shot Lee’s dog, Clack allegedly refused to provide aid to the wounded animal. When Lee attempted to transport his dog to a veterinarian, Clack stopped him for reckless driving, detained him in the back of a patrol car, and charged him with multiple violations. Lee filed a lawsuit against the officers and the Town of Fort Mill, claiming false arrest and imprisonment. The court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants, finding that Clack had probable cause for the arrest.

We're building a comprehensive database of police interactions to promote accountability and transparency in law enforcement.
It is strictly against our rules to:
Violation of these rules will result in immediate content removal and possible account suspension.
By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
