A lawsuit has been filed against former Lubbock Police Department Deputy Chief, Leath McClure, who was previously sentenced to probation for Deadly Conduct.
McClure was initially arrested in October 2023 and charged with two counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and one count of Continuous Violence Against the Family. He was placed on administrative leave and resigned the month after his arrest. He ended up pleading guilty to Deadly Conduct, and did not have to go to prison. Instead, McClure was sentenced to just 18 months of probation.
The victim of McClure’s deadly conduct filed a lawsuit seeking between $250,000 to $1,000,000. According to the lawsuit, McClure was also accused of sexually assaulting the woman. The lawsuit also said McClure should be held liable for emotionally, mentally and verbally abusing the woman. It also said the woman is entitled to compensation for physical pain, mental anguish and medical expenses.
While the Plaintiff was named in court documents, EverythingLubbock.com generally does not identify victims of sexual assault unless they choose to come forward.
