When Sprinkling Just Won’t Do

Okay, this story comes out to Tennessee, the birthplace of many a high IQ tales. This story is contained in a recently filed lawsuit.

Back about last February between 10 – 11 pm, Shandle Marie Riley dropped by a convenience store and bought some cigarettes and gas.  She then drove to a friend’s home where her minor daughter was visiting.

Shandle Riley

Deputy Daniel Wilkey had followed her from the convenience store to the driveway of the friend’s home. Deputy Wilkey ordered Shandle out of her car and told her that he believed she possessed methamphetamines.

According to Shandle, Deputy Wilkey searched “every area of her body,” including asking her to reach under her shirt “and pull out her bra and shake the bra and shirt.”  Shandle requested that a female officer be present for this but Wilkey said that wasn’t required.

This story hasn’t even gotten weird yet.

Deputy Wilkey asked if Shandle had anything illegal in her car. She admitted that she had a “roach” in a pack of cigarettes and gave it to him. He continued the search but found nothing.

He then asked her if she was saved and believed in Jesus.

Okay, it’s starting to get weird.

The lawsuit goes on to say Wilkey told Riley that “God was talking to him during the vehicle search, and [he] felt the Lord wanted him to baptize the plaintiff.,” and said that he felt “the spirit.”

Wilkey then told Riley to get towels inside the home for a baptism, and said he would issue her only a criminal citiation for marijuana and not take her to jail, according to the lawsuit. Riley says she got the towels, and followed Wilkey in his patrol car, not saying where he was taking her. Riley says she was afraid to ignore Wilkey and not do as he commanded.

So he takes her to the closest lake and asked another male deputy to meet them there, explaining that they needed a witness for the baptism to be “valid.”

The lawsuit says Wilkey then stripped down to his boxer shorts, and gave Riley the option to remove her clothes, which she declined. It says Wilkey then led her to waist deep, cold water, put one hand on her back and the other on her breasts, and submerged her underwater for “several moments.” At this moment, Riley says she “felt horribly violated.”

And totally creeped out, I imagine.

Wilkey issued her a citation for a tinted window violation and license tag obstruction, and says she admitted to having “a joint” in her car.

He didn’t mention the baptism.

The boys …

 

 

I don’t know this for a fact, but I think they need to pay for this story that they tell on every deer hunt, football game, bar hopping, and cop reunion.

The lawsuit is seeking $1,000,000 in compensatory damages and $10,000,000 in punitive damages. That sounds about fair.

Thanks to AlanInAustin for the heads up.

    Dunking under the water smells like Baptist of Church of Christ. If saving her soul, at least according to the deputy, is such a coup, why did he forget to mention this in the report? I’m surprised Tennessee and other Southern states don’t pass a law mandating proof of baptism at traffic stops.

    Hell, they try to regulate everything else.

  4. Sue for $0M and hit them in their real gawd–MONEY!
    Hope she wins and the town has to pay…but the judge is most likely a christANAL so she wont get much.

  5. Would this count as kidnapping?

  6. The problem I have with these lawsuits is the money comes from the taxpayer. They bad cops get to run around – torturing, molesting and killing citizens – and then the citizens pick up the tab for their fun. That money needs to come #1) from them personally and #2) from the police retirement funds. It would exempt the retirement funds as long as they were immediately fired and a good cop turned in the bad cop. This crap would stop immediately. Good cops would be quick to turn in the bad apples.

  7. Someday, there may be a follow up story, when Officer Wilkey is struck by a lightning bolt standing out in a lake without a victim, just a half empty can of beer in his hand.

    Old Fart I think you’re right about kidnapping, if the suit goes badly she can still press charges. No offense to any evangelicals but this whole God Just Told Me thing is an open door to all kinds of pathology. There are definitely folks walking around hearing voices in their heads, and putting any stamp of legitimacy on that can put society into a whole lot worse place. A God Told Me To defense for crimes is right up there with Stand Your Ground (also known as Murder The Witness And Claim You Felt In Danger).

    $11 million for being baptized against your will? Not enough.

    BTW, are those two guys related?

    JFC on hushpuppy!
    I’ve always agreed with that old saying: “Religion is the Opiate of the Masses” [Marx?], but our modern whackjob Talibangelicals have taken it to a new level: “Religion is the Aphrodisiac of the Asses”.
    .

    SpaceX is planning missions using the BFR Starship-Super Heavy that is designed to economically carry 100 people per ship to the Moon, Mars, and elsewhere.
    We need to start reserving some gubmint paid very special transport missions, selecting out these maniacs for some, like to Uranus or Mercury… At the very least some terrestrial testicle tearouts for them.

    Where I live, I can just about spit into Tennessee…and I am occasionally tempted to do so.

    Remember, Texas was settled (invaded?) by migrants from Tennessee.
    Just sayin’.

    Actually, my own forebears arrived in the 1840’s and ’50’s, landing in the far east–far east Texas, that is, along the Louisiana-Arkansas border, so who am I to talk?

  13. “Remember, Texas was settled (invaded?) by migrants from Tennessee.”

    and twice committed treason in defense of slavery. not exactly a history to be proud of. TN is the only state I’ve driven through, that has billboards advertising strip clubs next to ones advertising churches. go figure.

  14. Cheryl: “The problem I have with these lawsuits is the money comes from the taxpayer.”

    If some of these ratshit hick towns and counties have to go ten years with no police or fire services because 100% of their tax money is going to pay compensation to people who get abused by their cops and officials, maybe they’ll start thinking more carefully about what kind of people they vote into power.
