In May 2021, former deputy Kenny Perkins was sued in federal court by Gary Shannon Robertson, alleging excessive force during a May 8, 2020 incident. Robertson claimed Perkins tased him twice without warning, tackled him, and struck him in the head, causing severe injuries. The lawsuit also named Sheriff Derek Polston for failing to intervene. Robertson sought damages exceeding $100,000.
