In July 2020, Sheriff Maddox was informed by Daniel J. Rodriguez about alleged misconduct by his deputies, including excessive force and illegal search and seizure. Rodriguez claimed that Sheriff Maddox dismissed his complaints, telling him to ‘do what he had to do’ and ‘file a complaint if [he had] to.’ This response led to a lawsuit alleging violations of the Eighth, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments. The case is documented in Rodriguez v. Henry Cnty. Sheriff’s Office, 1:20-CV-723-RAH-KFP. ([casetext.com](https://casetext.com/case/rodriguez-v-henry-cnty-sheriffs-office?utm_source=openai))
