A dispute between a resident of this small city and a councilman escalated into criminal charges and now a federal lawsuit. And it all started with a speed bump.
) - A dispute between a resident of this small city and a councilman escalated into criminal charges and now a federal lawsuit.About three years ago, residents of the Gilbert Creek Estates subdivision wanted to slow down traffic. The council, including Councilman Bubba Phillips, approved a speed bump on Chelsea Court in front of T.W. Barnes’ home.
Phillips said during the council meeting that he drove around the speed bump but stayed on the city’s right of way – not Barnes’ property. Phillips directed FOX10 News to his lawyer, Christine Hernandez, who was traveling out of town Friday and was unavailable to comment. Satsuma Mayor Mark Barlow could not be reached for comment, and City Attorney Jay Minus did not immediate return a phone call.
Walsh said the police chief told Barnes that officers could not write a ticket for a traffic violation since officers had not witnessed it but that he could write a “citizens ticket.” He did so shortly after the council meeting. According to Phillips’ lawsuit, the municipal judge told him that the ticket for improper lane usage would be dismissed in favor of an amended ticket for reckless driving. But Phillips never receive the new ticket, according to the suit.
