Former professional angler Jason Quinn of York County filed a lawsuit against Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders last week.
The presidential candidate’s campaign used an aerial internet video of Quinn running his wrapped bass boat during a Bassmaster tournament without permission.
The Sanders campaign included this clip in a campaign ad that stated a southern border wall would not stop illegal drugs. The lawsuit is seeking a temporary restraining order, then a permanent order prohibiting Sanders and the campaign from using Quinn’s identity as the video depicting Quinn’s image is still on the Sanders website.
The suit also asks for actual and punitive damages. The lawsuit was filed by Rock Hill lawyers Zach Merritt of the law offices of Michael Brown Jr., and Eve Schafer Goodstein of the McGowan, Hood and Felder firm on February 29th in York County civil court.
