Deputy Michael Vickers and Dakota Corbitt
Dakota Corbitt and the rest of his family had done nothing wrong when they were swarmed by cops who held them at gunpoint before shooting the child.
The incident happened in July of 2014 when officers were looking for the suspect of an armed robbery and police shooting. The suspect, 19-year-old Christopher Barnett had fled to the woods near Corbitt's home.
During Barnett's apprehension, all hell broke loose as this innocent family had their rights violated at the hands of public servants.
According to the lawsuit, the defendants, Coffee County, Sheriff Doyle Wooten and deputy Michael Vickers, "jointly and severely deprived the plaintiffs and plaintiffs' minor children of their rights secured by the 4th and 14th Amendments of the United States and as a direct and proximate result of said deprivation defendants' negligence, gross negligence, and the wanton and willful indifference to the rights of the plaintiffs individually and the rights of the plaintiffs' minor children, caused the physical pain, suffering, mental anguish and ultimately the permanent restriction of one minor's right leg.
