"Ohio-based rap artist Joseph Edgar Foreman, known by the name Afroman, is being sued by seven officers with the Adams County Sheriff's Office for using footage of their 2022 search on his home to make and promote new music. The officers accused Foreman's use of their images and likeness as a "malicious" act that tarnished their reputation and humiliated them, according to a complaint.

The lawsuit stems from a search of Foreman's home on Aug. 21, 2022, which was conducted with a "lawfully issued search warrant," according to a March 13 complaint. A photo of the warrant shared by the local Fox affiliate but has not been independently verified by CBS News shows that the search was for evidence of marijuana and drug paraphernalia related to drug possession and trafficking, as well as kidnapping.

Foreman, known for his song "Because I Got High," was not at his home during the search, but his wife was present and recorded parts of the search on her phone. His house also had several security cameras that recorded the search.

Following the raid, the seven members of law enforcement involved – deputies Shawn Cooley, Justin Cooley, Shawn Grooms and Lisa Phillips, as well as sergeants Michael Estep and Randolph Walters Jr. and detective sergeant Brian Newland – say that Foreman used those video recordings to make music and music videos about the search. There were "dozens" of videos and images across numerous social media platforms, they said, that "clearly portray" their images and likeness."
