Byron Campbell has filed a lawsuit against Ruth Anne Thornton, alleging deprivation of rights under the color of law. The case, filed in the U.S. District Court, accuses Thornton of overstepping her authority as director of a federal/state partnership by providing unsolicited assistance that allegedly infringed upon Campbell’s constitutional rights. Campbell claims this assistance violated his rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness without his consent and seeks relief under 42 U.S.C § 1983. He is demanding $1.5 million in damages for emotional distress and financial losses, alongside legal fees and termination of the unwanted services.
