Rayne Police Chief Carroll Stelly and other Acadia Parish lawmen have been named as defendants in a civil lawsuit filed in federal court regarding the shooting and critical wounding of Anthony Campbell.

The civil suit was filed Monday in the U.S. District Court by Henry Lee Malbrough, the father of the new mentally handicapped Campbell.

In October 2009, Campbell was indicted by an Acadia Parish Grand Jury for attempted, first-degree murder in the incident that left him with a; bullet lodged in his skull.
