In a civil rights lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Ian Tod Peters accuses several defendants, including Forsyth County law enforcement officials and private investigators, of unlawful arrest and malicious prosecution. The complaint alleges that Peters was falsely arrested for DUI based on fabricated evidence despite having a 0.0 blood alcohol content. The case stems from a custody dispute with his ex-girlfriend, Tatum Helmer, who allegedly conspired with others to interfere with Peters’ custodial rights by orchestrating his arrest. The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages for violations of Peters’ Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
