In a federal lawsuit filed in the Northern District of Georgia, Michael Antonio Cobb Sr. and Patricia Ann Cobb, the parents of the late Michael Antonio Cobb Jr., have initiated legal action against Spalding County and Lieutenant Michael Storey. The case arises from an incident on December 9, 2023, where their son was allegedly shot and killed by Lt. Storey, violating his Fourth Amendment rights. The plaintiffs claim that Spalding County failed to adequately train its deputies, contributing to the tragic event. They seek compensatory and punitive damages for what they describe as excessive force used during the arrest.
