A $1.5 million lawsuit against Red Bank has been amended after inconsistencies were found in its first version.
Filed on behalf of Red Bank police Officer Bradley Hanon, the lawsuit first said that police department policy was violated in the case of a car accident involving a Red Bank police lieutenant. The new lawsuit abandons that line of attack and now argues that department policy “contradicts or otherwise confuses” the issue of when Red Bank officers should take post-accident drug tests.
Attorney Robin Flores, who’s representing Hanon, changed the wording of the lawsuit after the Chattanooga Times Free Press alerted him to an inconsistency. During that conversation, Flores declined to say whether he read the police policy manual before drafting the lawsuit. An hour later, Flores phoned the Times Free Press to say he had amended the lawsuit.
On Thursday, Hanon filed a lawsuit, claiming the city and several officials retaliated against him after he exposed alleged misconduct.

(Oh, and also this year, Big Orange — along with liquor stores around the state — began filling growlers.)
