GREENEVILLE â A $3 million lawsuit filed against Sullivan County over the conditions at its jail has been settled, according to the county attorney and court records.
Travis Bellew of Kingsport filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in November 2019, naming as defendants Sullivan County, Sheriff Jeff Cassidy, Capt. Lee Carswell and former corrections officer Christopher Sabo.
The lawsuit stemmed from an incident that took place at the jail in October 2018 when Bellew â an inmate at the time â was assaulted by Sabo. According to the lawsuit, while an inmate was being moved to a cell, Sabo knocked Bellew to the floor and into a closet, where his head struck a mop bucket.
