A lawsuit filed on June 10 alleges that a Meriwether County Sheriff’s Office deputy was speeding at 67 mph without emergency lights or sirens when he fatally collided with 61-year-old Ronald Moreland's car on April 4, 2024, in Senoia. Moreland's widow claims the deputy was not responding to an emergency and seeks compensatory damages for the emotional and financial impact of her husband's death, as he was the primary provider for their family. The case has drawn attention to the accountability of law enforcement when they violate traffic laws.
