First, the story:<\/p>\n
Talk about your Monday from hell. Not only did Bridgett Nickerson Boyd<\/a>‘s car break down on her way to work, but when she pulled over to the side of the freeway, a sheriff’s deputy named Mark Goad<\/a> pulled behind her, wrote her a ticket for driving on the shoulder, decided to arrest her, followed her to the hospital when her suddenly racing heart prompted a call to paramedics, then took her into custody again after she was treated by doctors and finally drove her to\u00a0jail.<\/p>\n
To make matters worse, Boyd claims in a lawsuit that the handcuffs were put on her wrists painfully tight and that she was forced to listen to conservative broadcaster Rush Limbaugh<\/a> “make derogatory comments about black people” all the way to the jail. Boyd is African-American.<\/p>\n
Because of the incident, which occurred on Oct. 4, 2010, Boyd filed a federal lawsuit Monday against Goad and Harris County alleging defamation, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, assault and battery, and intentional infliction of emotional\u00a0distress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Anyway, lawyer types out there, anyone have access to her claim?\u00a0 Would love to read through it…<\/p>\n
