J. Mills finds that the daughter-in-law can pursue civil rights claims against Benton County, a deputy sheriff and her mother-in-law, who serves as the circuit clerk for the county. When the mother-in-law's son was found passed out in a car from apparent drug use, the mother-in-law took the deputy sheriff with her to the daughter-in-law's house on the presumption that she was responsible for the son's inebriety. The deputy sheriff allegedly forced the daughter-in-law to provide a urine sample and physically held her down on the couch to get a cheek swab sample. Whether the internal policies and customs of the county were the driving force behind the daughter-in-law's alleged constitutional violations cannot be determined at the motion to dismiss stage.
