A fender-bender with a Jacksonville police car has sparked a lawsuit claiming the sergeant behind the wheel caused the wreck to frighten a woman who was having an inheritance dispute with the sergeant’s wife. The suit argues that Sgt. Roderic Feacher QUOTE: “abused his authority as a law enforcement officer by crashing into plaintiffs’ vehicle with the intent of intimidating” UNQUOTE: one of the two women inside the SUV. Phyllis Henson, who sued Feacher in federal court this month along with her neighbor, had a will granting her the estate of Feacher’s late brother-in-law, firefighter George Freeland IV, who had died four days before the Dec. 31 crash. Henson filed the will, which described her as the dead man’s spouse, at the Duval County Courthouse on Jan. 2. Since then, Henson and the sergeant’s wife, Terona Feacher, have feuded in Jacksonville’s probate court over what should happen to the estate, which is basically the house and Freeland’s firefighter retirement fund.
