This is an unfortunate story that the HQ has had to follow for a while...
Former Warren County (GA) head football coach David Daniel has gone ahead and filed a civil lawsuit against neighboring Hancock County, their Board of Education, two sheriff's deputies, and the football player he alleges assaulted him two seasons ago during a post-game melee...
Back on October 14th, 2011 after a game in Hancock County, when the fight started outside the Warren County locker room, the suit says, deputies Richard Mayweather, Tampa Lewis and Patrick Williams pepper-sprayed the Warren players but did not restrain the other team. The suit also says Hancock player Kendrez Mayweather struck Daniel on the face and head with his helmet.
Here's where you can read the suit...all 19 pages of it...
Daniel says he's been unable to work and needed extensive surgery for his face, brain and eye. He also had to undergo repeated rehab sessions in Atlanta- 2-and-a-half hours away from his last job.
From WMAZ-TV:
The lawsuit says Hancock County school failed to provide proper security and that the number of officers assigned to the game was not adequate.
The district's "deliberately indifferent" security helped cause the brawl and Daniel's injuries, the suit said.
You'll recall that a grand jury in Hancock County failed to file any charges against anyone on the Hancock County side of the matter- and there has been a great deal of thought that the grand jury was stacked with people who were connected to the Board of Education and that the whole process was rigged from the start...
Daniel is seeking damages, including medical costs and lost wages. No trial date has been set...
Here's the latest out of Sparta...
