A lawsuit is filed against Rogers County Sheriff Scott Walton for assault. The founder of ‘Oklahomans for Health’ Chip Paul filed the suit.
Cell phone video shows Paul being physically ejected from a community forum on medical marijuana by the sheriff.
The suit was filed yesterday in Rogers County District Court.
Forum attendee Ashley Mullen-Lowry captured Facebook live video of the incident. Walton says he believes the situation was orchestrated to cause disruption.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma said Tuesday that Walton should be held accountable for his actions that "signal a disturbing reliance on government force to silence political speech."
