A sheriff's secretary claimed that he violated her Fourteenth Amendment constitutional rights in threatening to burn her home down, kill her family in the process, and set fire to her dog. These threats allegedly occurred after the sheriff's wife talked to the secretary and asked her to confirm her suspicions about her husband's "extra-curricular" activities. The sheriff later told the secretary that he had an audiotape of her conversation with his wife, and made the threats in the event that she told his wife about the tape. A federal appeals court upheld a determination that these allegations, even if true, did not constitute a violation of constitutional rights. Nuchols v. Berrong, No. 06-6132, 2008 U.S. App. Lexis 5365 (6th Cir.).
