Lawsuit filed by former Aberdeen alderwoman was dismissed
ABERDEEN, Miss (WCBI) – A federal lawsuit by a former Aberdeen alderwoman is dismissed.
Lady Garth claimed her First and 14th Constitutional Amendment rights were violated after she was arrested and convicted of disturbance in a public place.
Mayor Charles Scott filed the affidavit against Garth in Monroe County Justice Court after an argument at a board meeting.
She eventually served five days in jail.
Last September, Garth was given two weeks to object to a Magistrate’s recommendation the lawsuit be dismissed.
No objection was filed and for that reason the lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice.
