Robert Speelman – Malheur County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Deputy Robert Speelman was named in a lawsuit filed in September 2014 by Sweeney and Kendra Gillette and Richard ‘Ric’ Hoyt, alleging civil rights violations, unlawful search and seizure, slander, and defamation. The plaintiffs claimed that Speelman and other deputies conducted an overzealous investigation into their cattle business, leading to reputational damage and financial loss. The lawsuit sought over $9 million in damages from Malheur County, Sheriff Brian Wolfe, and several deputies.
