Lawsuit says Grays Harbor deputies arrested sitting judge without cause, costing him re-election
A Grays Harbor County judge has filed a federal lawsuit accusing sheriff’s deputies of unlawfully arresting him for driving under the influence despite a breath test showing his blood alcohol level was far below the legal limit.
According to the complaint filed Oct. 7 in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, Superior Court Judge David Mistachkin alleges that Deputies Dylan Spencer, Jeff Barbo, and Chief Criminal Deputy Jason Wecker violated his Fourth Amendment rights by detaining and arresting him without probable cause.
The lawsuit also names Grays Harbor County as a defendant.
