In a recent legal filing, Teresa Fuller Lamar has brought a civil rights lawsuit against the City of Jenkinsburg, Butts County, and Brad Vaughn, alleging violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The case, filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, claims that the defendants have violated Lamar’s due process and equal protection rights by denying her business license renewal for LT Tire Recycling. The complaint details a history of compliance with state regulations and argues that local ordinances improperly override state law, resulting in arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement. Lamar seeks declaratory relief, injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees.
