Shortly after a woman sued a group of Graysville, Tennessee, police officers for arresting her twice on what she claims were phony charges, she was arrested again.
The arrest came after one of the officers presented what the woman’s attorney, Robin Flores, argues was perjured testimony to a grand jury to obtain an indictment against her for the same charge that had just been dismissed, according to federal court documents filed late last month.
Graysville is a small town in Rhea County, not far from the Hamilton County border, with a population of just over 1,500 people.
City attorney Aaron Wells said the city had no formal comment, adding that it will respond accordingly if necessary in court. And attorneys for the officers did not respond to a request for comment.
But in earlier responses filed in court, Chief Julie Tanksley has claimed that the woman “wrongfully threw a bloody feminine hygiene pad” at her. The other officers and the city have all denied any wrongdoing.
