Jury orders Clayton sheriff to pay $475,000
Hill still on the job, his chief deputy says

A federal jury on Monday ordered Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill to pay $475,000 to the brother of the man Hill defeated to become sheriff four years ago.

Mark Tuggle was arrested in January 2005 after calling and leaving angry messages for Hill following the sheriff’s firing of 27 employees. Tuggle, who was jailed 30 hours, sued for false arrest and malicious prosecution.


Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill was sued by the brother of the man he beat for the sheriff post in 2004.Recent headlines:

The jury awarded Tuggle $250,000 in compensatory damages and $225,000 in punitive damages. U.S. District Court Judge Orinda Evans will decide how much in attorneys’ fees and expenses will be paid Tuggle’s lawyers.

“Dissent is the hallmark of a free society,” said Tuggle’s lawyer, Bill Atkins. “You’re not very free if you’re not free to voice your dissent without fear of going jail. That’s what this case was about. This jury spoke the truth to Victor Hill.”

Hill, who lost his re-election bid in an August run-off, declined comment Monday.

Mark Tuggle’s brother, Stanley Tuggle, served two terms as Clayton sheriff until Hill defeated him in the 2004 election.

Despite questions that Hill may have cleaned out his desk after losing re-election, Hill continues to work as sheriff, a spokesman said.

Speculation that Hill has essentially quit prompted Gov. Sonny Perdue last week to appoint a three-person panel to investigate. But that’s not the case, Hill’s chief deputy, John Gibson, said.

“He was in his office over the weekend,” Gibson said. “It’s business as usual. My office is right next to his and I have not seen anything coming out of it and I’ve seen the sheriff going in there.”

Perdue has given state Attorney General Thurbert Baker and sheriffs Mike Jolley of Harris County and Gene Pope of Butts County authority to investigate.

Perdue said the men have 30 days to report back to him for determination on whether Hill should be suspended.

Clayton police Chief Jeff Turner said he welcomes an investigation.

“The citizens of Clayton County elected him as sheriff to do his job and he should be doing it until the end of that job,” Turner said. “If he is not responsible enough to do his job, I would expect the governor to step in.”

The County filed an order of protection against Hill. All lawsuits must be paid out of his pocket. Ain't that great!:D

Forgive me for not knowing the specifics, but what did the brother sue for? I am familiar with the sheriff quitting or speculation thereof, but what loss did the brother suffer? It seems as though he was the aggressor originally, and he gets .5 mil? I am quite obviously missing a ton of info, but would someone mind to clue me in?

P.S.- I am all for jerkoffs getting theirs, but with this being the only article I have seen except for the one about him quitting, I want to be in on the fun stuff...:D:D:D

Oh jeez, where to start?

Lessee......

Hill was elected 4 years ago because he was "THE BLACK GUY". His first order of business was to fire all the ranking white Deputies. Under gun point. At the jail. Sent them home in prison busses. (He lost that lawsuit)

So next day Tuggles brother called and called him a dirty name. Asshat had him arrested and jailed. Problem is, what Tuggle did was not against the law. Asshat was just trying to show how powerful he thought he was.

And there are many more ...

Search this sight about Victor Hill under my nic. I probaly have posted 50 stories about him.

Either look through norm's old posts, or use the search feature on the forums with the keywords "racist asshat Sheriff". That should give you plenty of information. ;)
