SUMMARY: A new lawsuit has been filed against Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey and others over allegations of excessive force against a suspect, Christopher Bobby Adams. The lawsuit alleges that Adams' 4th Amendment rights were violated when he was arrested on a drug charge in 2021. This comes after former Deputy Christian Dedmon, who was part of the “Goon Squad,” pleaded guilty to charges related to torturing two Black men. Adams is seeking compensation for the alleged violations and damages, claiming a pattern of excessive force, especially against Black citizens or suspected drug users. Dedmon is currently serving prison time for his role in the torture. Bailey and Adams' attorney have not yet commented on the allegations.
