(SBT24/7News) An attorney for Town Council member David Snyder and his wife has sent a tort claim notice to the town seeking damages for Snyder’s arrest at a Sept. 14 council meeting.

The notice, from attorney Edward Hearn on behalf of David and Dorothy Snyder, names both the town and former Marshal Jack Tiller.

The claim alleges Tiller pushed David Snyder in such manner that caused him to fall and suffer injury. Tiller also is claimed to have repeatedly struck or kicked Snyder, causing him further injury.

Tiller is alleged to have acted intentionally, recklessly or negligently.

David Snyder has suffered damages, reported to be substantial but yet unquantified, according to the claim.

The tort claim seeks compensation for the Snyders for personal injury, medical treatment, pain, suffering and other damages not yet fully determined.

David Snyder was ejected from the Sept. 14 Town Council meeting. As Snyder was leaving Town Hall, there was an encounter involving him and Tiller.

Snyder ended up on the ground in the Town Hall parking lot with Tiller on top of him. Snyder was then arrested.

Snyder underwent hospital treatment for a concussion, facial bruises and other injuries before he spent the night in jail.
