Homeless Men Sue Ohio Sheriff To Sleep at Courthouse

Say their First, Fourth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights are being violated by the sheriff's attempt to stop them sleeping there

CINCINNATI—Four homeless men who sleep outside a courthouse in Ohio have sued a county sheriff to make sure they can continue to use the public area as a de facto homeless camp.

Antonio Wilson, Gary Hudson, Shafter Jinks and Brandon Booker filed the lawsuit against Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati on Wednesday alleging Neil's plan to stop the homeless from sleeping at the courthouse violates their First, Fourth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights and the Ohio Constitution.
