Written by In August 2009, State Marshal Timothy J. Bennett was added as a defendant in a lawsuit alleging overbilling and false statements. The plaintiff claimed that Bennett, along with another marshal, engaged in misconduct by charging excessive fees and providing inaccurate information. The case was initially dismissed on grounds of sovereign immunity, but the General Assembly later permitted the plaintiff to pursue legal action against the state. This case underscored concerns about accountability and oversight within the State Marshal system.
