Complaint Filed Against Deputy Zunker
On April 10, attorney Tim Yeats presented the Glasscock County Commissioners’ Court with a formal complaint against Glasscock County Sheriff’s Deputy Ken Zunker, and notice of contemplated litigation against Zunker and Glasscock County as his employer.
The complaint is on behalf of Jeff Walling, a Glasscock County resident, and contends that certain actions and statements of Zunker “ …give rise to potential claims of malicious prosecution, abuse of process, and slander…,” all while on duty as a deputy sheriff for Glasscock County.
The complaint contends Zunker used his office to intimidate and harass the Wallings in attempting to provide evidence for use by Mrs. Walling’s ex-husband [Raymond Miller] in his civil litigation against her regarding custody and visitation of their children.
Neither the commissioners’ court nor Glasscock County Attorney Hardy Wilkerson (who was present at the court meeting) had any response to the complaint, which is on file in the Glasscock County Clerk’s Office.
Contacted on the morning of April 12, Zunker said he was unaware of the complaint, and Glasscock County Sheriff Royce Pruit said he had not seen the complaint and therefore could not comment.
