An agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms has filed a federal lawsuit accusing two Columbus police officers of using excessive force against him while he was working in his official capacity.
James Burk, a 16-year veteran of the ATF, went to a house in the 3300 block of Edgebrook Drive near Dublin to take a shotgun from someone who allegedly wasn’t allowed to have a gun, even do it wasn’t confirmed by the police if the man wasn’t allowed to have a gun !
Nothing else was reported about the ATF agent’s mission.
When Burk knocked on the home door, a person inside called 911 and read the dispatcher Burk’s badge number while refusing to open the door.
Burk said the dispatcher told the 911 caller not to answer the door and dispatched Columbus police officers Joseph Fihe, a 20-year member of the division, and Kevin Winchell, who is also a 20-year veteran officer.
