A former Bibb County sheriff's deputy who announced his candidacy for sheriff this week has two pending lawsuits against his former employer, according to The Telegraph.
In one of them, he alleges that incumbent Sheriff David Davis is a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
Davis, who is white, denies the allegation.
“That is as far from the truth as it could absolutely be. … I think my record speaks for itself,” Davis told The Telegraph Wednesday. “I am offended by it, and it concerns me that someone would think that of me.”
At the heart of one of the suits, both filed in federal court last year, Timothy Rivers alleges that he was demoted due to his race and in retaliation for writing traffic tickets to “the wrong segment of peoples.”
