NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) A Tennessee man arrested over a social media post sued law enforcement officers Tuesday, claiming they violated his First Amendment rights, the Tennessean reported.
Joshua Andrew Garton was arrested in January after posting a photograph that depicted two people urinating on a gravestone with a photo of a Dickson County sheriff’s officer who was fatally shot in 2018.
The post was captioned, “Just showing my respect to deputy Daniel Baker from the #dicksoncountypolicedepartment.”
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation was called in at the request of District Attorney Ray Crouch. Investigators determined the photo was taken from an album cover with a copy of Baker’s official work portrait “crudely” edited onto the grave, court documents show.

A man arrested over a social media post this year is suing Tennessee law enforcement for at least $1 million over what he believes is a violation of his First Amendment rights.
The arrest drew ire from civil rights attorneys as soon as it was announced and launched dozens of calls and complaints to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, court records show.
Joshua Andrew Garton, 28, posted an image on social media. He was then charged with harassment in January after investigators with the TBI accused him of creating and posting a harassing photograph on social media. He was jailed for nearly two weeks on a $76,000 bond until a Dickson County judge dismissed his charges Feb. 4.
