A lawsuit has just been filed against District Attorney Ray Crouch, @dicksonpolice, and many @TBInvestigation officials regarding their malicious prosecution and false arrest of Joshua Garton for posting a meme that offended law enforcement: https://horwitz.law/wp-content/uploads/Complaint-of-Joshua-Garton-and-Exhibits-1-4.pdf">https://horwitz.law/wp-conten... My statement:
