Michael Walker v. B.E. Donahoe et al.

Case Number: 
3:18-cv-1523

Memorandum Decision and Order

Responding to a 9-1-1 call, Brian Donahoe and Brandon Pauley of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department stopped Michael Walker while he was walking down a road openly carrying an AR-15-style rifle. Walker alleges Donahoe seized him in violation of the Fourth Amendment and that Pauley is liable for not intervening. The parties now cross-move for summary judgment. Because Donahoe had reasonable suspicion to stop Walker and run a criminal history check, the Court grants summary judgment in the defendants’ favor.
