Phelps County was served with a petition on Wednesday from a Rolla man seeking $25,000 in punitive damages stemming from an incident involving a deputy who was attempting to serve a summons.
The suit was filed by Rolla resident Thomas J. Aaron, Sr., 74, who alleged he was injured in November, 2007, when PCSD Deputy Mark Wynn attempted to serve a summons to his fiancee, Ladonna J. Simmons.
