A Brooksville man, acquitted of felony battery charges against a law enforcement officer in 2013, is now seeking $10 million in damages from Hernando County Sheriff's deputies.



Michael Bratt and his wife, Marjorie Youmans, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Tampa on Dec. 23, claiming their constitutional rights were violated by four current and former Hernando sheriff's deputies who used excessive force, as well as unlawful search, false arrest and covering up the use of excessive force, when investigating a noise complaint at the Bratt residence.



The suit asks for $10 million compensation for physical and emotional damages Bratt and his wife claim were inflicted after a Dec. 26, 2009 incident with four Hernando County Sheriff's deputies: Louis Genovese, Steven George, Kenneth Van Tassel and John Gore.

He won't get anything near 10 mil

If that true and all deputies stated they don't know how it happened..Al better take out the checkbook!

They couldn't keep their stories straight. Deputies are being sued, not the SO. May not get 10 million but I'll bet they get a huge chuck of change. Lou should have never used his knee and knocked the man's eye out of the socket. Not one excuse for how these two people were treated, especially by deputies who were trespassing.
