Two more federal lawsuits alleging excessive use of force in arrests have been filed in the past week against former Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody and Williamson County.
Ramsey Mitchell, a Midland resident, filed a lawsuit on Monday saying that Williamson County deputies beat him until he was unconscious and left him with lasting injuries during a traffic stop in 2019 filmed by the Live PD television show.
Mitchell also sued five former and/or current deputies, as well as Big Fish Entertainment, the producer of Live PD, and the A&E Network, which aired the show.
Chody did not return requests for comment about the lawsuits and Williamson County does not comment on pending litigation. Chody has three other pending lawsuits against him claiming excessive use of force. He lost his race for re-election in November.
