Griffey
Lawsuit
Dismissed
A former Marshall police chief's $1
million lawsuit against the town was
dismissed on Tuesday morning in
federal court in Asheville
Former police chief Joe W. Griffey
was seeking compensatory and
punitive damages stemming from his
dismissal from the town's police
force in February of last year.
Testimony in the case began Mon
day afternoon in federal court. At
torneys for the former police chief
called Marshall aldermen John Dod
son and Sammy Lunsford to testify.
Former Marshall mayor Betty Wild
also testified on behalf of the former
police chief.
Griffey contended that the town's
aldermen violated his constitutional
rights by dismissing him following an
investigation of a high-speed chase
Griffey and former police officer
Larry Davis were involved in early in
1985.
Griffey's attorney argued that his
client's dismissal stemmed for
political rivalries concerning control
of the police force.
a i a special meeting caiiea 10 in
vestigate the incident, Griffey and
Davis told the aldermen that they had
engaged a teenaged motorist in a
high-speed chase on U.S. 25-70 after
the teenager apparently ran a stop
sign. During the chase, Griffey fired
nine shots at the fleeing vehicle. No
one was injured in the incident.
The fleeing suspect was charged
with simple possession of marijuana,
but was not convicted.
Following the investigation, both
Dodson and Lunsford voted to
dismiss Griffey from the town police
force.
At the opening of court on Tuesday
U.S. District Court Judge David B.
Sentelle granted a motion to dismiss
the case, saying there was no reason
to send the case on to a jury for a deci
sion.
