A former Spring Valley building official has filed a federal lawsuit accusing the Rockland District Attorney’s Office of wrongful prosecution and violating his rights. That’s according to The Journal News. Wayne Ballard was acquitted of all criminal charges and is seeking an undisclosed amount of money, claiming false arrest, malicious prosecution, prosecutorial misconduct, and civil rights violations. Rockland County Attorney Thomas Humbach declined to comment, as did D-A Tom Walsh. Ballard had been accused of knowingly filing a false report with the state for 2019 outlining inspections, permits, and other Building Department information.
