An Alabama man suing law enforcement in two states has dropped South Pittsburg, Tenn., and its police officers from his complaint.
James Radford, 59, of Rainsville, Ala., was injured in 2007 when two teenage girls from Tennessee who were fleeing police crashed into his vehicle in Rainsville, Ala.
In July 2009, Mr. Radford filed a lawsuit naming as defendants six municipalities, Jackson County law enforcement and an unknown number of other unnamed officers.
But when the public safety reports came in, they showed that not all the police originally accused were involved, including South Pittsburg’s, said Mr. Radford’s attorney, Michael Bradley.
“The dismissal is based on Alabama State Troopers’ investigation indicating what principalities were involved in the chase at the time of the crash,” said Mr. Bradley, of Birmingham, Ala.
