Defendant.
Case No. RSC-CV-2473
COMPLAINT
COME NOW, Seal_love, by and through the undersigned counsel does file suit against
the above captioned party and alleges the following:
PARTIES
1. Plaintiff Seal_love is a resident of the State of Ridgeway.
2. Defendant Im_Thunderr is a resident of the State of Ridgeway and a Trooper of the
Ridgeway State Police, and is being sued in their official capacity.
JURISDICTION & VENUE
1. The jurisdiction of the Court originates from Art. V, Sec. IV which states “There shall be
a Superior court which shall exercise original jurisdiction for all civil and criminal cases
or controversies…”
2. Venue is proper because the incident that took place as alleged occurred within
Ridgeway County, specifically in Sterling.
GENERAL ALLEGATIONS
Plaintiff alleges:
1. On or about the date of March 15th, 2024, Seal_love was enjoying his life as an
esteemed resident of the State of Ridgeway.
2. He was hanging out near the Sterling Boxing Club, with four other individuals. Two of
them were law enforcement officers, with one being a sheriff’s deputy and the other
being Trooper Im_Thunderr of the Ridgeway State Police.
3. A civilian, named Beast_Leader, who was one of the two other individuals, for no reason
at all, proceeded to pull out his crowbar that was on his person, and look directly at an
Automated Teller Machine, standing directly in front of it, and proceeded to swing said
crowbar multiple times at the Automated Teller Machine.
4. Seal_love was extremely startled by this, and felt extremely threatened. As a result, he
pulled out his own crowbar then walked up to the individual, who was standing right in
front of an Automated Teller Machine, but not directly in front of him in a manner in
which Seal_love would directly and intentionally put himself in the swinging radius of
the crowbar.
5. Beast_Leader then stepped away for a second, then proceeded to rob the Automated
Teller Machine for a slight second, then stop, then proceeded to swing his crowbar at
Seal_love hitting him once and causing him great bodily injury.
6. The Trooper who was at the Sterling Boxing Club, who was attending to an unrelated
incident, placed a suspect he had in his department-issued vehicle, then headed over to
where the incident regarding Seal_love and Beast_Leader occurred.
7. Trooper Im_Thunderr proceeded to cuff Seal_love, place him in his department-issued
vehicle, all while the individual who tampered with the Automated Teller Machine in an
illegal fashion and who hit Seal_love with his crowbar without legal purpose, reason, or
justification, ran away from the scene, laughing at the fact that Trooper Im_Thunderr got
the wrong person.
8. Seal_love never committed a criminal action, never used his crowbar in an illegal
fashion, and never touched or interacted with the Automated Teller Machine.
9. Trooper Im_Thunderr brought Seal_love to the Ridgeway County Sheriff’s Office
Substation, where Seal_love told the Trooper that he did not do anything wrong. The
Trooper did not listen, and proceeded to arrest Seal_love for 15 minutes, for the charge
of ATM Fraud–a felony, in the absence of probable cause.
CAUSE OF ACTION
(1 R. Stat. § 3114 – Official Misconduct)
10. The allegations in the previous paragraphs are incorporated as reference as if fully set
forth herein.
11. Pursuant 1 R. Stat. § 3114, “[a]ny individual who is a public servant and commits an act
relating to his office but constitutes an unauthorized exercise of his official functions,
knowing that such act is unauthorized; or refrains from performing a duty which is
imposed upon him by law or is clearly inherent in the nature of his office” is liable to the
party injured for the tort of Official Misconduct.
12. Defendant, by detaining and arresting the plaintiff, without legal cause or reason, and in
the absence of probable cause, after being told by the plaintiff himself that he has done
nothing wrong, and after witnessing the events directly in front of him, still knowing that
the plaintiff has done nothing wrong, has “commit[ed] an act relating to his office but
[has] constitute[d] an unauthorized exercise of his official functions, knowing that such
act is unauthorized.” Id., creating concrete injury towards the plaintiff, making the
defendant, Trooper Im_Thunderr, liable for the tort of Official Misconduct.
PRAYERS FOR RELIEF
1. The plaintiff is seeking declaratory judgment, declaring that the defendant is liable for
the tort of Official Misconduct.
2. The plaintiff is seeking punitive damages in the amount of $3,000.
3. The plaintiff is seeking that the court award all attorney costs and fees, in the amount of
$1,500.
4. The plaintiff is seeking additional relief of which the Court may grant that is not
requested through this complaint.
Respectfully submitted.
