Former Glynn County police leaders file federal lawsuit alleging conspiracy to destroy department
GLYNN COUNTY, Ga. – Two former top commanders of the Glynn County Police Department have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging that a Georgia sheriff, a former district attorney, and more than a dozen others conspired to destroy the department and frame them to do it.
Former Police Chief John Powell and former Assistant Chief Brian Scott filed the 64-page lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia, Brunswick Division. The suit names 13 defendants and seeks $20 million in damages along with a jury trial.
The lawsuit alleges that Glynn County Sheriff Neal Jump and former Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney Jacquelyn “Jackie” Johnson led a years-long effort to eliminate the Glynn County Police Department — which has operated independently from the sheriff’s office since 1919 — and consolidate all county law enforcement power under the sheriff’s office
