A Perry County man is reportedly suing the City of Hazard and the Hazard Police Chief in connection with an arrest over the summer.
Dallas Campbell says he went to the Hazard Police Department to file an Open Records Request to look through salary records and was shooting video while he was there.
WYMT reports the lawsuit alleges Chief Darren Williams asked Campbell to stop filming and when he didn’t, arrested him for menacing and disorderly conduct.
The Perry County Attorney dismissed the charges last month.
The lawsuit alleges violation of the Open Records Act, battery, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution.
