Henri Brooks sues county commission

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Ousted Shelby County commissioner Henri Brooks has filed a lawsuit against Shelby County.

An attorney for Brooks has confirmed the suit has been filed and challenges her removal from the commission.

Brooks was removed after an investigation determined she does not live in her district.

She defiantly showed up to a commission committee this week and even voted before commissioners voted to officially vacate her seat.

Brooks will appear in court Monday. Her supporters are hosting a rally Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 1051 Firestone.
