A White County woman filed a federal lawsuit against White County Sheriff Oddie Shoupe and four deputies.
Sparta resident Jessica Newnum is seeking $350,000.
According to the suit, Shoupe and deputies arrived at her Gum Springs Mountain Road home in May 2016, looking for David Pecor. Newnum was in bed at the time and didn’t know Pecor. She said her house was searched without her consent.
The suit states Newnum suffers from nightmares, panic attacks and now fears law enforcement officers.
