A Seelyville resident accuses the town marshal of a retaliatory stop; officials call the stop justified and refer him to their attorney

Derek Brunson, a Seelyville resident who identified himself for the record, told the council during public comment that the town's marshal pulled him over, cited him for driving on a suspended license, and handcuffed him tightly enough to reinjure a previously injured wrist — despite what Brunson said were receipts proving he had already paid the underlying ticket. ▶︎ 0:28:23 — open the recording, cued to 28 minutes 23 seconds

He said the town has no dash-cam footage to check his account against even though it operates license-plate-reading ("Flock") cameras on residents, called the stop retaliatory — tied, he said, to an earlier dispute involving a township fire chief — and said the marshal should be fired. ▶︎ 0:30:16 — open the recording, cued to 30 minutes 16 seconds

Officials also said Seelyville had done away with its one Flock camera and that other cameras discussed belonged to Vigo and Clay counties. ▶︎ 0:36:21 — open the recording, cued to 36 minutes 21 seconds
