Chancellor Jerri S. Bryant could hand down a decision within the next 30 days on a lawsuit filed against Bradley County Commissioner Dan Rawls in his position as owner of Cleveland Performance Center.
The lawsuit was filed in September 2013 by Steven McCullough, who claimed Rawls “charged for faulty and non-approved” work on his 1967 Camaro.
The case has gone back and forth over the last three years, with Rawls eventually filing a counter lawsuit against McCullough.
The case drew public attention in recent months when Sheriff Eric Watson noted McCullough was a deputy at the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office and claimed Rawls asked him to fire McCullough and his wife, who was also a deputy, after the lawsuit was filed.
Rawls denied he ever asked for McCullough’s dismissal.
Testimony was finally heard this month in the lawsuit, with the final witnesses appearing in Chancery Court on Tuesday.
Both sides will now have 10 days to submit written final arguments in the case and a decision could be announced within two weeks after that deadline.
