A former Cobb County sheriff's investigator is suing Sheriff Neil Warren for blocking him from the office's official Facebook page.
James "Jimmy" Herndon, who announced last summer that he will challenge Warren for sheriff in 2020, said in a federal First Amendment lawsuit filed Wednesday that he was blocked from the Cobb County Sheriff's Office Facebook page because he posted comments critical of Warren. Herndon left the department in 2017.
The suit also names as defendants Lt. Col. Robert Quigley and Deputy Glenn Daniel, both of whom are public information officers for the office.
