PADUCAH — A local couple has filed a lawsuit, claiming police brutality and said they have the pictures to prove it.
The job of police is to protect our safety but this couple said officers went too far and they said they are fighting to make things right.
This isn't the first time we've heard about Donnie and Marcia McKinney suing after an incident involving a search of their home. Police were looking for their adoptive son who was wanted on serious charges.
In 2010, the McKinney's filed a federal lawsuit against Paducah Detective Sergeant Brian Laird and 20 unnamed officers. The city responded by denying all allegations, saying the suit should be dismissed. A federal judge later did dismiss the case.
Now, the McKinneys filed a lawsuit similar to the first one, this time in state court.
