Darby seeks end to lawsuit
Darby Borough lawyers asked a federal judge to dismiss a civil rights suit filed by Councilwoman Paula Brown alleging illegal arrest harassment and intimidation. Brown names former council president Nicholas DiGregorio current president Wilbur Smith and Councilman Robert Layden as co defendants claiming a police conspiracy to interfere with speech. Holston responded that Brown was removed from meetings twice for improper conduct and injuries arose from her own actions. The answer notes the charges were dismissed for lack of probable cause.
