JURISDICTION AND VENUE
1. This court, which is the Superior Court of the State of Ridgeway, shall "shall exercise
original jurisdiction for all civil and criminal cases or controversies under the rules as set
by the Supreme Court", Rid. Const., Art. Ⅴ, § Ⅳ, and it shall have original jurisdiction
over, among other things, "any controversy not otherwise falling within the jurisdiction of
the Supreme Court, Administrative Court, or Magistrate Court as set forth by law". See
generally The Judiciary Act of 2026 § 302, S.B. 002, 11th Sen. (2026); 3 R. Stat. §
131.104(a–e). As the controversy is actionable here, jurisidiction is proper.

where the controversy occurs. See 7 R. Stat. §§ 131.001–131.003. Since this takes place
within the County of Ridgeway, a county of the State of Ridgeway pursuant to 9 R. Stat.

STATEMENT OF FACTS
1. On 2026-08-16 (UTC+00:00), Plaintiff, who bore no weapon, was in the State of
Ridgeway.
2. At 20:41, Plaintiff left his home on 1650 Belgrade Rd in Palmer, driving in his white
Rampart SUV with the licensed plate LDY599.
3. At 20:42, Plaintiff stopped his vehicle on the southwestern side of the Ridgeway County
Sheriff's Office, right by the warrant garage. In the parking lot on the eastern side, there
were a few peace officers by the corrections garage.
4. There, spoookdan was on duty as a first sergeant of the Ridgeway National Guard, and he
was sitting down with the peace officers, who were RCSO Lt. nisicult, Sgt. axcurxd, and
a RNG guardsman.
5. Plaintiff, who was behind the wall, equipped a Solami submachine gun, loaded it, then
quickly got back into his vehicle. The peace officers and Defendant spoookdan did not
see him equip or load the gun.
6. As plaintiff accelerated and turned to the east, he appeared outside of the chain fence.
7. Immediately, Defendant spoookdan literally jumped, unholstered his guard-issued Para
17, and opened fire at Plaintiff.
8. The first few shots narrowly missed Plaintiff, and one was even blocked by a pole
separating Defendant's line of fire.
9. The peace officers were spooked by Defendant's abrupt shooting and ran toward the
target, which was the Plaintiff driving his white Rampart.
10. Defendant shot Plaintiff's vehicle six times. He reloaded his Para 17 and ran to a RCSO
Pioneer.
11. Then, Deputy First Class chexburger, who was driving a RCSO Madrigal, and his
passenger Defendant AdamStratton, who was on duty as a probationary deputy and on a
zero tolerance period, came out from the wooded hill and bumped into Plaintiff.
12. Defendant AdamStratton was already aiming his department-issued Stetson M2-A
automatic rifle at Plaintiff before the collision.
13. No vehicle was injured from the collision, and Plaintiff, Defendant AdamStratton, and
chexburger were not harmed.
14. Nonetheless, AdamStratton got out and opened fire on the Plaintiff, destroying his
windows.
15. After that, Plaintiff reported Defendant AdamStratton to the Ridgeway County Sheriff's
Office through the Internal Affairs Complaint Form for the aforementioned shooting. He
provided video evidence of the shooting as well.
16. On 2026-08-17, In the #main-lobby channel of the Ridgeway County Sheriff's Office
Discord server, Plaintiff sent a message, which read: "yeah of course i report adam and he
gets off without any punishment"
17. There, RCSO Lt. PeepGPT, who is the chief detective of the Criminal Investigations
Division, sent a message, which read: "cid also investigated", and he sent another
message, which read: "we found no wrongdoing @RealBaconLeaf".
18. He also sent a message, which read: "Thugs get no rights".
TORTS
#1: Official Misconduct (7 R. Stat. § 121.404)
Tortfeasor: Defendant spoookdan
1. Plaintiff incorporates all pled averments and all pled facts.
2. Defendant spoookdan was on duty as a first sergeant of the Ridgeway National Guard.
See Compl. Parties ¶ 1. So, he was a public servant.
3. Defendant spoookdan did commit an unauthorized act of his office/authority as a peace
officer: he opened fire on Plaintiff when he was not violent. Furthermore, neither Plaintiff
nor Defendant were at a military installation, so there was no need to act as if it were at
one. See 5 R. Stat. § 132.210 ("The military police shall hold equal authority to use force
as peace officers of the state, and shall use such to enforce the security of military
installations as necessary").
4. Plaintiff was harmed by Defendant's unauthorized act, as his vehicle was damaged from
Defendant's gunfire.
5. Therefore, there is a cause of action for the tort of Official Misconduct, of which
Defendant spoookdan is the tortfeasor.
#2: Official Misconduct (7 R. Stat. § 121.404)
Tortfeasor: Defendant AdamStratton
1. Plaintiff incorporates all pled averments and all pled facts.
2. Defendant AdamStratton was a probationary deputy of the Ridgeway County Sheriff's
Office, so he was a public servant.
3. Defendant AdamStratton did commit an unauthorized act of his office/authority as he
used lethal force on Plaintiff, who was not violent.
4. Plaintiff was harmed by Defendant's unauthorized act, as his vehicle was damaged from
Defendant's gunfire.
5. Therefore, there is a cause of action for the tort of Official Misconduct, of which
Defendant AdamStratton is the tortfeasor.
#3: Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law (7 R. Stat. § 121.403)
Tortfeasor: Defendant spoookdan
6. Plaintiff incorporates all pled averments and all pled facts.
7. Defendant spoookdan was acting under the law, as he was on duty as a military police
officer of the Ridgeway National Guard and therefore takes the Ridgeway National
Guard's office, authority, and duties.
8. Defendant spoookdan did deprive Plaintiff of his Fourth Amendment right to be secure in
himself against unreasonable seizures when he violated it by unreasonably shooting at
Plaintiff, which is an attempt of a seizure of Plaintiff himself. U.S. Const., Amdt. 4; see
also Tennesse v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1, 25 (1985) (White, J.) ("For purposes of Fourth
Amendment analysis, I agree with the Court that Officer Hymon 'seized' Gamer by
shooting him.")
9. Therefore, there is a cause of action for the tort of Deprivation of Rights under Color of
Law, of which Defendant spoookdan is the tortfeasor.
#4: Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law (7 R. Stat. § 121.403)
Tortfeasor: Defendant AdamStratton
10. Plaintiff incorporates all pled averments and all pled facts.
11. Defendant AdamStratton was acting under the law, as he was on duty as a probationary
deputy of the Ridgeway County Sheriff's Office and takes on RCSO's office, authority,
and duties. See 9 R. Stat. §§ 331.201–331.203.
12. Defendant did deprive Plaintiff of his Fourth Amendment right to be secure in himself
against unreasonable seizures when he violated it by unreasonably shooting at Plaintiff,
which is an attempt of a seizure of Plaintiff himself.
13. Therefore, there is a cause of action for the tort of Deprivation of Rights under Color of
Law, of which Defendant AdamStratton is the tortfeasor.
#5: Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law (7 R. Stat. § 121.403)
Tortfeasor: The Ridgeway County Sheriff's Office
14. Plaintiff incorporates all pled averments and all pled facts.
15. The Ridgeway County Sheriff's Office's department handbook and code of conduct, all of
which list policies, are public, and they are for the public to be aware of.
16. When the Ridgeway County Sheriff's Office looked into Plaintiff's complaint, they were
acting under their policywise authority, RCSO Department Handbook, §§ 701 ("If a
member of the Sheriff’s Office violates department or divisional policy located in the
document herein, they will be subjected to an Internal Affairs investigation and may
receive punitive action as a result of their transgression(s)"), 202-2.2(B) ("The Internal
Affairs Unit, formed under the Investigations Branch of the Ridgeway County Sheriff’s
Office is tasked with upholding and enforcing department policy and standards").
17. The aforementioned policies are also policywise duties of RCSO IA, and, meronymically,
RCSO itself.
18. Even though Defendant's use of force was against policy (e.g., RCSO Code of Conduct, §
2.03) and went against RCSO's standard for deadly force, RCSO Department Handbook,
§ 303, RCSO did not act.
19. When the Ridgeway County Sheriff's Office read Plaintiff's complaint and saw the
evidence with the complaint, they did not punish AdamStratton for shooting Plaintiff:
The Ridgeway County Sheriff's Office and the IB deputies did not uphold their duty to
"enforce the laws of the State" when (1) they saw, from the complaint, that Defendant
AdamStratton unreasonably attempted to seize Plaintiff, which may be construed
Defendant committing the felony of Attempted Murder, R.C.C. § 3.03, and the
misdemeanor of Unlawful Discharge of a Firearm, R.C.C. § 2.33, and (2) they denied to
act on the complaint. See 9 R. Stat. § 331.202(a) ("[The Sheriff and his deputies shall
hold the duty to] enforce the laws of the State;")
20. Finally, because RCSO did not obey their policywise duty to act on the complaint, and
they did not act on their statutory duty to act on the complaint, which, to reiterate, shows
Defendant AdamStratton, among other crimes, committing the aforementioned crimes,
they violated their statutory duty to enforce the laws. And because they are public
servants "of the County of Ridgeway" and therefore the State of Ridgeway, of which
Plaintiff is a resident, this statutory duty is, passively, one of Plaintiff's rights.
21. The Ridgeway County Sheriff's Office is also for the people as they are a part of the
government of the State of Ridgeway, so they also have a constitutional duty to act for
Plaintiff. Rid. Const., Art. Ⅰ, § Ⅲ ("That all power being originally inherent in and
co[n]sequently derived from the people, therefore, all officers of government, whether
legislative or executive, are their trustees and servants; and at all times, in a legal way,
accountable to them") (emphasis added).
22. Furthermore, the Ridgeway County Sheriff's Office did not remedy Plaintiff for
Defendant AdamStratton's violations of the laws, which they are constitutionally required
to do. Id., at § Ⅰ ("Every person within this state ought to find a certain remedy, by
having recourse to the laws, for all injuries or wrongs which one may receive in person,
property or character; every person ought to obtain right and justice, freely, and without
being obliged to purchase it; completely and without any denial; promptly and without
delay; conformably to the laws.")
23. Therefore, there exists a cause of action for the tort of Deprivation of Rights under Color
of Law, of which the Ridgeway County Sheriff's Office is the defendant: they (1)
deprived Plaintiff of the aforementioned statutory and constitutional rights.
