Prominent Philadelphia attorney Clifford Haines has sued Sheriff Jewell Williams and sheriff’s deputies, claiming they engaged in a conspiracy to defame and discredit him following a violent altercation at the Criminal Justice Center nearly two years ago.
Haines filed the suit, Haines v. Williams, in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on Aug. 16. It is the second lawsuit he filed over the Aug. 22, 2017, incident, which left him with a broken shoulder. The 15-page complaint raises claims of conspiracy to defame, false arrest, malicious prosecution and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
