CIVIL COMPLAINT
Hon.
Docket Number:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
1. Mr. aspenfun is a prominent public servant among the many other employees of the State
of Ridgeway. Particularly, Mr. aspenfun is a dedicated member of the Department of
Transportation, and actively contributes to this community by working to clear obstructed
roadways, provide transportation to players, and be of general assistance to other people.
2. As a result of Mr. aspenfun’s hard work in his community, he has impounded hundreds of
vehicles. Unfortunately, this has led some residents to hold a grudge against Mr.
aspenfun, rather than the laws of Ridgeway.
3. Mr. aspenfun often faces targeted attacks against him by specific individuals.
4. During one of his shifts, Mr. aspenfun was attacked by the Defendant, who approached
Mr. aspenfun and began to shoot at him. Despite Mr. aspenfun being shot numerous
times, and attempting to run away, the Defendant continued to chase and shoot Mr.
aspenfun.
5. To challenge the actions of the Defendant, Mr. aspenfun brings this claim against them
for the purposes of seeking punitive and compensatory relief, or other relief where it is
deemed just and proper.
THE PARTIES
6. Plaintiff aspenfun is a resident and citizen of the State of Ridgeway. Plaintiff is suing in
their individual capacity for events that occurred while they were on-duty as an employee
of the Ridgeway Department of Transportation.

Defendant is sued in their individual capacity as such.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
8. The Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to Ridgeway Const.
art. V, § IV because the claims arise under the Constitution and laws of the State of
Ridgeway.
9. Venue is appropriate in this judicial district pursuant to 7 R. Stat. § 131.001 because
Defendant resides in the single judicial jurisdiction of this State, and a substantial part of
the events or omissions giving rise to Mr. aspenfun’s claims occurred in this State.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
10. On July 17, 2026, Mr. aspenfun was on duty as a uniformed employee of the Ridgeway
Department of Transportation, specifically as a tow operator.
11. During his shift, Mr. aspenfun observed an illegally parked vehicle at the Palmer Police
station in Palmer City. Accordingly, he activated his utility lights and positioned his truck
to begin towing the vehicle.
12. While in the process of attaching a winch to the car, the Defendant pulled up beside Mr.
aspenfun’s tow truck in a black van. Mr. aspenfun watched as the Defendant got out of
his van.
13. The Defendant walked around his van and began to immediately shoot in the direction of
Mr. aspenfun from a considerably close distance. Mr. aspenfun was struck by the
Defendant’s gunfire, and sustained serious bodily injuries.
14. Scared for his life, Mr. aspenfun tried to run away from the Defendant by rapidly jumping
around and moving around his truck to create a safe distance, and cover.
15. The Defendant however continued to chase Mr. aspenfun, while simultaneously shooting
in his direction. Mr. aspenfun was further struck by gunfire.
16. At some point, police officers nearby exchanged gunfire, and shot and killed the
Defendant. Mr. aspenfun was left with serious injuries.
CAUSES OF ACTION
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
7 R. Stat. § 121.001
(Assault)
17. Mr. aspenfun incorporates the preceding paragraphs by reference as if fully set forth
herein.
18. Under 7 R. Stat. § 121.001, any person who intentionally and voluntarily causes
reasonable apprehension of imminent harmful or offensive contact is assault.
19. Defendant intentionally and voluntarily pointed a gun they knew was loaded in the
direction of Plaintiff.
20. Defendant discharged this firearm repeatedly in the direction of Plaintiff without any
justification to do so.
21. Defendant’s actions caused Mr. aspenfun to reasonably believe he would be immediately
harmed, and as a response, attempted to run away and take cover. Thus, Defendant has
intentionally and voluntarily caused Mr. aspenfun reasonable apprehension of imminent
harmful contact.
22. Any reasonable person under similar circumstances would have experienced
apprehension of imminent harmful contact when a loaded firearm is pointed and
discharged at them.
23. Defendant’s conduct constituted assault under 7 R. Stat. § 121.001.
24. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant’s assaultive conduct, Mr. aspenfun suffered
bodily injury and death.
25. As such, Mr. aspenfun is entitled to punitive damages.
SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
7 R. Stat. § 121.002
(Battery)
26. Mr. aspenfun incorporates the preceding paragraphs by reference as if fully set forth
herein.
27. Under 7 R. Stat. § 121.002, any person who brings unconsented harmful or offensive
contact against another person is battery.
28. Defendant intentionally made harmful physical contact with Mr. aspenfun by repeatedly
shooting him with a firearm.
29. The contact was unconsented, offensive, harmful, and unlawful because Defendant never
spoke to Mr. aspenfun to gain prior consent, and approached Mr. aspenfun with a loaded
gun in hand. By firing repeatedly in Mr. aspenfun’s direction, Defendant did cause
Plaintiff to sustain serious bodily injuries and death, without lawful justification.
30. Defendant’s actions constituted battery under 7 R. Stat. § 121.002.
31. As a direct result of Defendant’s conduct, Mr. aspenfun suffered serious bodily injuries
and death.
32. As such, Mr. aspenfun is entitled to punitive and compensatory damages.
THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION
7 R. Stat. § 121.301
(Negligence)
33. Mr. aspenfun incorporates the preceding paragraphs by reference as if fully set forth
herein.
34. Under 7 R. Stat. § 121.301, any individual who owes a duty of care to another individual,
and that other individual suffers injury as a result of a breach of that duty to care commits
negligence.
35. At all times relevant, Defendant owed Mr. aspenfun a duty to exercise reasonable care
and to refrain from conduct creating an unreasonable and foreseeable risk of harm to
others.
36. Defendant breached that duty of care by intentionally and recklessly discharging a
firearm repeatedly in Mr. aspenfun’s direction in a public area, chasing Mr. aspenfun
while continuing to fire, and otherwise failing to exercise even the minimum degree of
care required to avoid causing injury to another person.
37. It was reasonably foreseeable that repeatedly firing a loaded firearm at Mr. aspenfun
would cause serious injury or death.
38. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant’s breach of the duty of care, Mr. aspenfun
sustained severe bodily injuries, pain and suffering, and distress.
39. As such, Mr. aspenfun is entitled to compensatory and punitive damages.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
40. WHEREFORE, Mr. aspenfun respectfully requests the following relief:
a. An award of $4,000 in punitive damages for assault;
b. An award of $5,000 in punitive damages for battery;
c. An award of $5,000 in punitive damages for negligence;
d. An award of compensatory damages in an amount to be determined at trial; and,
e. Grant any such further relief as the Court deems just and proper.
Date: July 18, 2026
Respectfully submitted,
