In 2015, a federal lawsuit was filed against Rainbow City and Gadsden police officers after a 16-year-old girl was tased twice while experiencing a grand mal seizure during a concert. The lawsuit alleges that officers failed to provide medical assistance and instead used excessive force. The girl’s mother was also tased and arrested for disorderly conduct. The lawsuit seeks punitive damages and improved officer training.
