NEW CASTLE, INDIANA – The Law Office of Mark Nicholson has officially filed multiple tort claims against Henry County Sheriff John Sproles, citing a systemic pattern of misconduct, physical abuse, and blatant violations of constitutional rights. These filings come as Henry County faces a self-inflicted financial crisis directly linked to the Sheriff’s department’s actions.


Recent disclosures from the Henry County Commissioner’s Meeting reveal the devastating impact of Sheriff Sproles’ leadership. Due to the high volume of claims and the nature of the misconduct, insurance companies have begun dropping the County or drastically increasing deductibles. Henry County is now under a 21-day deadline to pay over $1 million to maintain its coverage or risk losing insurance entirely.


“Sheriff John Sproles is an elected official who is sworn to protect and serve, yet his office has become a liability to the very citizens who elected him,” said Mark Nicholson. “His blatant disregard for civil rights has not only cost the taxpayers millions but, far more tragically, it has now cost another human being their life. This is a travesty that should have never happened. We are filing these claims to ensure that there is accountability for this ongoing abuse of power.”


The Law Office of Mark Nicholson will continue to fight aggressively for the victims of Sheriff Sproles’ misconduct. We refuse to stand by while constitutional rights are treated as optional and lives are lost due to negligence and abuse.
