Unspecified Officers – Florence Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In September 2023, Courtney Williams filed a lawsuit against the city of Florence and its police department, alleging wrongful arrest for shoplifting at a Walmart store in August 2022. Williams claimed she was mistakenly identified as the shoplifter and arrested in November 2022. The lawsuit alleged negligence, civil assault, and false arrest, seeking compensation for emotional distress, reputational damage, and financial losses. The suit also claimed that the city and police department hired unqualified officers and failed to adequately train and supervise them.
