Prosecutors in Marshall County have asked a judge to delay the trial for John Cooper, director of the Alabama Department of Transportation, for at least six months.
District Judge Mitchell Floyd has not yet ruled on the request.
The lawsuit names Carter – the complainant in the criminal case – as well as Cindy Carter and First Southern State Bank as defendants. At issue, according to the lawsuit, is a property easement that the resort said “is an encroachment over and along its property and constitutes a trespass by the defendants.” Gerald Carter, Cindy Carter and the bank own property immediately east of the resort property, the lawsuit said.
Carter told AL.com that a confrontation with Cooper over the property dispute is what led to the criminal complaint. Last week, two individuals joined the lawsuit as plaintiffs – Claude “Eric” Crabtree and Hwaok Ko Crabtree. According to the amended lawsuit, they own property adjacent to Gerald Carter, Cindy Carter and the bank and the defendants have trespassed on the Crabtree property and cleared land for the purpose of providing an entrance and an exit to the Carter property.
